How to work it out

  1. Difference: 30 − 43 = -13
  2. Divide by the starting value: -13 ÷ 43 = -0.302326
  3. Multiply by 100: -30.2326%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 43 × (1 − 0.302326) = 43 × 0.697674 = 30.

In a spreadsheet: =(30-43)/43*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 69.7674% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 69.7674, so 30.2326 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $43 to $30 is a 30.2326% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 30.2326% fall followed by a 30.2326% rise does not bring you back to 43: it gives 39.0698. The second percentage is taken of 30, not of 43, so to undo this change you need 43.3333% instead.
