How to work it out

  1. Difference: 67 − 6 = 61
  2. Divide by the starting value: 61 ÷ 6 = 10.166667
  3. Multiply by 100: 1,016.6667%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 6 × (1 + 10.166667) = 6 × 11.166667 = 67.

In a spreadsheet: =(67-6)/6*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 11.1667 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 1,116.6667. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $6 to $67 has gone up by 1,016.6667%.

Why the change back is different

A 1,016.6667% rise followed by a 1,016.6667% fall does not bring you back to 6: it gives -614.1667. The second percentage is taken of 67, not of 6, so to undo this change you need 91.0448% instead.
