How to work it out

  1. Difference: 14 − 44 = -30
  2. Divide by the starting value: -30 ÷ 44 = -0.681818
  3. Multiply by 100: -68.1818%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 44 × (1 − 0.681818) = 44 × 0.318182 = 14.

In a spreadsheet: =(14-44)/44*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 31.8182% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 31.8182, so 68.1818 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $44 to $14 is a 68.1818% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 68.1818% fall followed by a 68.1818% rise does not bring you back to 44: it gives 23.5455. The second percentage is taken of 14, not of 44, so to undo this change you need 214.2857% instead.
