How to work it out

  1. Difference: 34 − 30 = 4
  2. Divide by the starting value: 4 ÷ 30 = 0.133333
  3. Multiply by 100: 13.3333%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 30 × (1 + 0.133333) = 30 × 1.133333 = 34.

In a spreadsheet: =(34-30)/30*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 1.1333 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 113.3333.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $30 to $34 has gone up by 13.3333%.

Why the change back is different

A 13.3333% rise followed by a 13.3333% fall does not bring you back to 30: it gives 29.4667. The second percentage is taken of 34, not of 30, so to undo this change you need 11.7647% instead.
