How to work it out

  1. Difference: 61 − 52 = 9
  2. Divide by the starting value: 9 ÷ 52 = 0.173077
  3. Multiply by 100: 17.3077%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 52 × (1 + 0.173077) = 52 × 1.173077 = 61.

In a spreadsheet: =(61-52)/52*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 1.1731 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 117.3077.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $52 to $61 has gone up by 17.3077%.

Why the change back is different

A 17.3077% rise followed by a 17.3077% fall does not bring you back to 52: it gives 50.4423. The second percentage is taken of 61, not of 52, so to undo this change you need 14.7541% instead.
