How to work it out

  1. Difference: 83 − 26 = 57
  2. Divide by the starting value: 57 ÷ 26 = 2.192308
  3. Multiply by 100: 219.2308%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 26 × (1 + 2.192308) = 26 × 3.192308 = 83.

In a spreadsheet: =(83-26)/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 3.1923 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 319.2308. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $26 to $83 has gone up by 219.2308%.

Why the change back is different

A 219.2308% rise followed by a 219.2308% fall does not bring you back to 26: it gives -98.9615. The second percentage is taken of 83, not of 26, so to undo this change you need 68.6747% instead.
