How to work it out

  1. Difference: 50 − 37 = 13
  2. Divide by the starting value: 13 ÷ 37 = 0.351351
  3. Multiply by 100: 35.1351%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 37 × (1 + 0.351351) = 37 × 1.351351 = 50.

In a spreadsheet: =(50-37)/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 1.3514 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 135.1351.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $37 to $50 has gone up by 35.1351%.

Why the change back is different

A 35.1351% rise followed by a 35.1351% fall does not bring you back to 37: it gives 32.4324. The second percentage is taken of 50, not of 37, so to undo this change you need 26% instead.
