How to work it out

  1. Difference: 14 − 62 = -48
  2. Divide by the starting value: -48 ÷ 62 = -0.774194
  3. Multiply by 100: -77.4194%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 62 × (1 − 0.774194) = 62 × 0.225806 = 14.

In a spreadsheet: =(14-62)/62*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 22.5806% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 22.5806, so 77.4194 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $62 to $14 is a 77.4194% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 77.4194% fall followed by a 77.4194% rise does not bring you back to 62: it gives 24.8387. The second percentage is taken of 14, not of 62, so to undo this change you need 342.8571% instead.
