How to work it out

  1. Difference: 52 − 43 = 9
  2. Divide by the starting value: 9 ÷ 43 = 0.209302
  3. Multiply by 100: 20.9302%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 43 × (1 + 0.209302) = 43 × 1.209302 = 52.

In a spreadsheet: =(52-43)/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 1.2093 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 120.9302.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $43 to $52 has gone up by 20.9302%.

Why the change back is different

A 20.9302% rise followed by a 20.9302% fall does not bring you back to 43: it gives 41.1163. The second percentage is taken of 52, not of 43, so to undo this change you need 17.3077% instead.
