How to work it out

  1. Difference: 59 − 44 = 15
  2. Divide by the starting value: 15 ÷ 44 = 0.340909
  3. Multiply by 100: 34.0909%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 44 × (1 + 0.340909) = 44 × 1.340909 = 59.

In a spreadsheet: =(59-44)/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 1.3409 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 134.0909.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $44 to $59 has gone up by 34.0909%.

Why the change back is different

A 34.0909% rise followed by a 34.0909% fall does not bring you back to 44: it gives 38.8864. The second percentage is taken of 59, not of 44, so to undo this change you need 25.4237% instead.
