How to work it out

  1. Difference: 100 − 61 = 39
  2. Divide by the starting value: 39 ÷ 61 = 0.639344
  3. Multiply by 100: 63.9344%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 61 × (1 + 0.639344) = 61 × 1.639344 = 100.

In a spreadsheet: =(100-61)/61*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 1.6393 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 163.9344.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $61 to $100 has gone up by 63.9344%.

Why the change back is different

A 63.9344% rise followed by a 63.9344% fall does not bring you back to 61: it gives 36.0656. The second percentage is taken of 100, not of 61, so to undo this change you need 39% instead.
