How to work it out

  1. Difference: 63 − 46 = 17
  2. Divide by the starting value: 17 ÷ 46 = 0.369565
  3. Multiply by 100: 36.9565%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 46 × (1 + 0.369565) = 46 × 1.369565 = 63.

In a spreadsheet: =(63-46)/46*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 1.3696 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 136.9565.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $46 to $63 has gone up by 36.9565%.

Why the change back is different

A 36.9565% rise followed by a 36.9565% fall does not bring you back to 46: it gives 39.7174. The second percentage is taken of 63, not of 46, so to undo this change you need 26.9841% instead.
