How to work it out

  1. Difference: 60 − 43 = 17
  2. Divide by the starting value: 17 ÷ 43 = 0.395349
  3. Multiply by 100: 39.5349%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 43 × (1 + 0.395349) = 43 × 1.395349 = 60.

In a spreadsheet: =(60-43)/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 1.3953 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 139.5349.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $43 to $60 has gone up by 39.5349%.

Why the change back is different

A 39.5349% rise followed by a 39.5349% fall does not bring you back to 43: it gives 36.2791. The second percentage is taken of 60, not of 43, so to undo this change you need 28.3333% instead.
