How to work it out

  1. Difference: 54 − 14 = 40
  2. Divide by the starting value: 40 ÷ 14 = 2.857143
  3. Multiply by 100: 285.7143%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 14 × (1 + 2.857143) = 14 × 3.857143 = 54.

In a spreadsheet: =(54-14)/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 3.8571 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 385.7143. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $14 to $54 has gone up by 285.7143%.

Why the change back is different

A 285.7143% rise followed by a 285.7143% fall does not bring you back to 14: it gives -100.2857. The second percentage is taken of 54, not of 14, so to undo this change you need 74.0741% instead.
