How to work it out

  1. Difference: 52 − 37 = 15
  2. Divide by the starting value: 15 ÷ 37 = 0.405405
  3. Multiply by 100: 40.5405%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 37 × (1 + 0.405405) = 37 × 1.405405 = 52.

In a spreadsheet: =(52-37)/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 1.4054 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 140.5405.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $37 to $52 has gone up by 40.5405%.

Why the change back is different

A 40.5405% rise followed by a 40.5405% fall does not bring you back to 37: it gives 30.9189. The second percentage is taken of 52, not of 37, so to undo this change you need 28.8462% instead.
