How to work it out

  1. Difference: 62 − 28 = 34
  2. Divide by the starting value: 34 ÷ 28 = 1.214286
  3. Multiply by 100: 121.4286%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 28 × (1 + 1.214286) = 28 × 2.214286 = 62.

In a spreadsheet: =(62-28)/28*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 2.2143 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 221.4286. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $28 to $62 has gone up by 121.4286%.

Why the change back is different

A 121.4286% rise followed by a 121.4286% fall does not bring you back to 28: it gives -13.2857. The second percentage is taken of 62, not of 28, so to undo this change you need 54.8387% instead.
