How to work it out

  1. Difference: 73 − 57 = 16
  2. Divide by the starting value: 16 ÷ 57 = 0.280702
  3. Multiply by 100: 28.0702%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 57 × (1 + 0.280702) = 57 × 1.280702 = 73.

In a spreadsheet: =(73-57)/57*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 1.2807 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 128.0702.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $57 to $73 has gone up by 28.0702%.

Why the change back is different

A 28.0702% rise followed by a 28.0702% fall does not bring you back to 57: it gives 52.5088. The second percentage is taken of 73, not of 57, so to undo this change you need 21.9178% instead.
