How to work it out

  1. Difference: 33 − 41 = -8
  2. Divide by the starting value: -8 ÷ 41 = -0.195122
  3. Multiply by 100: -19.5122%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 41 × (1 − 0.195122) = 41 × 0.804878 = 33.

In a spreadsheet: =(33-41)/41*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 80.4878% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 80.4878, so 19.5122 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $41 to $33 is a 19.5122% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 19.5122% fall followed by a 19.5122% rise does not bring you back to 41: it gives 39.439. The second percentage is taken of 33, not of 41, so to undo this change you need 24.2424% instead.
