How to work it out

  1. Difference: 80 − 26 = 54
  2. Divide by the starting value: 54 ÷ 26 = 2.076923
  3. Multiply by 100: 207.6923%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 26 × (1 + 2.076923) = 26 × 3.076923 = 80.

In a spreadsheet: =(80-26)/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 3.0769 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 307.6923. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $26 to $80 has gone up by 207.6923%.

Why the change back is different

A 207.6923% rise followed by a 207.6923% fall does not bring you back to 26: it gives -86.1538. The second percentage is taken of 80, not of 26, so to undo this change you need 67.5% instead.
