How to work it out

  1. Difference: 30 − 33 = -3
  2. Divide by the starting value: -3 ÷ 33 = -0.090909
  3. Multiply by 100: -9.0909%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 33 × (1 − 0.090909) = 33 × 0.909091 = 30.

In a spreadsheet: =(30-33)/33*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 90.9091% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 90.9091, so 9.0909 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $33 to $30 is a 9.0909% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 9.0909% fall followed by a 9.0909% rise does not bring you back to 33: it gives 32.7273. The second percentage is taken of 30, not of 33, so to undo this change you need 10% instead.
