How to work it out

  1. Difference: 70 − 26 = 44
  2. Divide by the starting value: 44 ÷ 26 = 1.692308
  3. Multiply by 100: 169.2308%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 26 × (1 + 1.692308) = 26 × 2.692308 = 70.

In a spreadsheet: =(70-26)/26*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 2.6923 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 269.2308. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $26 to $70 has gone up by 169.2308%.

Why the change back is different

A 169.2308% rise followed by a 169.2308% fall does not bring you back to 26: it gives -48.4615. The second percentage is taken of 70, not of 26, so to undo this change you need 62.8571% instead.
