How to work it out

  1. Difference: 87 − 14 = 73
  2. Divide by the starting value: 73 ÷ 14 = 5.214286
  3. Multiply by 100: 521.4286%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 14 × (1 + 5.214286) = 14 × 6.214286 = 87.

In a spreadsheet: =(87-14)/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 6.2143 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 621.4286. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $14 to $87 has gone up by 521.4286%.

Why the change back is different

A 521.4286% rise followed by a 521.4286% fall does not bring you back to 14: it gives -366.6429. The second percentage is taken of 87, not of 14, so to undo this change you need 83.908% instead.
