How to work it out

  1. Difference: 81 − 33 = 48
  2. Divide by the starting value: 48 ÷ 33 = 1.454545
  3. Multiply by 100: 145.4545%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 33 × (1 + 1.454545) = 33 × 2.454545 = 81.

In a spreadsheet: =(81-33)/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 2.4545 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 245.4545. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $33 to $81 has gone up by 145.4545%.

Why the change back is different

A 145.4545% rise followed by a 145.4545% fall does not bring you back to 33: it gives -36.8182. The second percentage is taken of 81, not of 33, so to undo this change you need 59.2593% instead.
