How to work it out

  1. Difference: 86 − 26 = 60
  2. Divide by the starting value: 60 ÷ 26 = 2.307692
  3. Multiply by 100: 230.7692%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 26 × (1 + 2.307692) = 26 × 3.307692 = 86.

In a spreadsheet: =(86-26)/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 3.3077 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 330.7692. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $26 to $86 has gone up by 230.7692%.

Why the change back is different

A 230.7692% rise followed by a 230.7692% fall does not bring you back to 26: it gives -112.4615. The second percentage is taken of 86, not of 26, so to undo this change you need 69.7674% instead.
