How to work it out

  1. Difference: 59 − 43 = 16
  2. Divide by the starting value: 16 ÷ 43 = 0.372093
  3. Multiply by 100: 37.2093%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 43 × (1 + 0.372093) = 43 × 1.372093 = 59.

In a spreadsheet: =(59-43)/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 1.3721 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 137.2093.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $43 to $59 has gone up by 37.2093%.

Why the change back is different

A 37.2093% rise followed by a 37.2093% fall does not bring you back to 43: it gives 37.0465. The second percentage is taken of 59, not of 43, so to undo this change you need 27.1186% instead.
