How to work it out

  1. Difference: 69 − 30 = 39
  2. Divide by the starting value: 39 ÷ 30 = 1.3
  3. Multiply by 100: 130%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 30 × (1 + 1.3) = 30 × 2.3 = 69.

In a spreadsheet: =(69-30)/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 2.3 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 230. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $30 to $69 has gone up by 130%.

Why the change back is different

A 130% rise followed by a 130% fall does not bring you back to 30: it gives -20.7. The second percentage is taken of 69, not of 30, so to undo this change you need 56.5217% instead.
