How to work it out

  1. Difference: 60 − 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 × 1.621622 = 60.

In a spreadsheet: =(60-37)/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 1.6216 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 162.1622.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $37 to $60 has gone up by 62.1622%.

Why the change back is different

A 62.1622% rise followed by a 62.1622% fall does not bring you back to 37: it gives 22.7027. The second percentage is taken of 60, not of 37, so to undo this change you need 38.3333% instead.
