How to work it out

  1. Difference: 61 − 25 = 36
  2. Divide by the starting value: 36 ÷ 25 = 1.44
  3. Multiply by 100: 144%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 25 × (1 + 1.44) = 25 × 2.44 = 61.

In a spreadsheet: =(61-25)/25*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 2.44 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 244. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $25 to $61 has gone up by 144%.

Why the change back is different

A 144% rise followed by a 144% fall does not bring you back to 25: it gives -26.84. The second percentage is taken of 61, not of 25, so to undo this change you need 59.0164% instead.
