How to work it out

  1. Difference: 14 − 37 = -23
  2. Divide by the starting value: -23 ÷ 37 = -0.621622
  3. Multiply by 100: -62.1622%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 37 × (1 − 0.621622) = 37 × 0.378378 = 14.

In a spreadsheet: =(14-37)/37*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 37.8378% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 37.8378, so 62.1622 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $37 to $14 is a 62.1622% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 62.1622% fall followed by a 62.1622% rise does not bring you back to 37: it gives 22.7027. The second percentage is taken of 14, not of 37, so to undo this change you need 164.2857% instead.
