How to work it out

  1. Difference: 54 − 37 = 17
  2. Divide by the starting value: 17 ÷ 37 = 0.459459
  3. Multiply by 100: 45.9459%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 37 × (1 + 0.459459) = 37 × 1.459459 = 54.

In a spreadsheet: =(54-37)/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 1.4595 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 145.9459.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $37 to $54 has gone up by 45.9459%.

Why the change back is different

A 45.9459% rise followed by a 45.9459% fall does not bring you back to 37: it gives 29.1892. The second percentage is taken of 54, not of 37, so to undo this change you need 31.4815% instead.
