How to work it out

  1. Difference: 62 − 29 = 33
  2. Divide by the starting value: 33 ÷ 29 = 1.137931
  3. Multiply by 100: 113.7931%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 29 × (1 + 1.137931) = 29 × 2.137931 = 62.

In a spreadsheet: =(62-29)/29*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 2.1379 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 213.7931. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $29 to $62 has gone up by 113.7931%.

Why the change back is different

A 113.7931% rise followed by a 113.7931% fall does not bring you back to 29: it gives -8.5517. The second percentage is taken of 62, not of 29, so to undo this change you need 53.2258% instead.
