How to work it out

  1. Difference: 44 − 14 = 30
  2. Divide by the starting value: 30 ÷ 14 = 2.142857
  3. Multiply by 100: 214.2857%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 14 × (1 + 2.142857) = 14 × 3.142857 = 44.

In a spreadsheet: =(44-14)/14*100. Always divide by the starting value, not the new one. A rise from 40 to 50 is +25%, but the fall from 50 back to 40 is −20%.

What the result means

The new value is 3.1429 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 314.2857. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $14 to $44 has gone up by 214.2857%.

Why the change back is different

A 214.2857% rise followed by a 214.2857% fall does not bring you back to 14: it gives -50.2857. The second percentage is taken of 44, not of 14, so to undo this change you need 68.1818% instead.
