How to work it out

  1. Difference: 90 − 25 = 65
  2. Divide by the starting value: 65 ÷ 25 = 2.6
  3. Multiply by 100: 260%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 25 × (1 + 2.6) = 25 × 3.6 = 90.

In a spreadsheet: =(90-25)/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 3.6 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 360. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $25 to $90 has gone up by 260%.

Why the change back is different

A 260% rise followed by a 260% fall does not bring you back to 25: it gives -144. The second percentage is taken of 90, not of 25, so to undo this change you need 72.2222% instead.
