How to work it out

  1. Difference: 61 − 43 = 18
  2. Divide by the starting value: 18 ÷ 43 = 0.418605
  3. Multiply by 100: 41.8605%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 43 × (1 + 0.418605) = 43 × 1.418605 = 61.

In a spreadsheet: =(61-43)/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 1.4186 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 141.8605.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $43 to $61 has gone up by 41.8605%.

Why the change back is different

A 41.8605% rise followed by a 41.8605% fall does not bring you back to 43: it gives 35.4651. The second percentage is taken of 61, not of 43, so to undo this change you need 29.5082% instead.
