How to work it out

  1. Difference: 92 − 21 = 71
  2. Divide by the starting value: 71 ÷ 21 = 3.380952
  3. Multiply by 100: 338.0952%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 21 × (1 + 3.380952) = 21 × 4.380952 = 92.

In a spreadsheet: =(92-21)/21*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 4.381 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 438.0952. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $21 to $92 has gone up by 338.0952%.

Why the change back is different

A 338.0952% rise followed by a 338.0952% fall does not bring you back to 21: it gives -219.0476. The second percentage is taken of 92, not of 21, so to undo this change you need 77.1739% instead.
