How to work it out

  1. Difference: 80 − 61 = 19
  2. Divide by the starting value: 19 ÷ 61 = 0.311475
  3. Multiply by 100: 31.1475%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 61 × (1 + 0.311475) = 61 × 1.311475 = 80.

In a spreadsheet: =(80-61)/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 1.3115 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 131.1475.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $61 to $80 has gone up by 31.1475%.

Why the change back is different

A 31.1475% rise followed by a 31.1475% fall does not bring you back to 61: it gives 55.082. The second percentage is taken of 80, not of 61, so to undo this change you need 23.75% instead.
