How to work it out

  1. Difference: 46 − 43 = 3
  2. Divide by the starting value: 3 ÷ 43 = 0.069767
  3. Multiply by 100: 6.9767%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 43 × (1 + 0.069767) = 43 × 1.069767 = 46.

In a spreadsheet: =(46-43)/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 1.0698 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 106.9767.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $43 to $46 has gone up by 6.9767%.

Why the change back is different

A 6.9767% rise followed by a 6.9767% fall does not bring you back to 43: it gives 42.7907. The second percentage is taken of 46, not of 43, so to undo this change you need 6.5217% instead.
