How to work it out

  1. Difference: 43 − 62 = -19
  2. Divide by the starting value: -19 ÷ 62 = -0.306452
  3. Multiply by 100: -30.6452%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 62 × (1 − 0.306452) = 62 × 0.693548 = 43.

In a spreadsheet: =(43-62)/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 69.3548% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 69.3548, so 30.6452 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $62 to $43 is a 30.6452% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 30.6452% fall followed by a 30.6452% rise does not bring you back to 62: it gives 56.1774. The second percentage is taken of 43, not of 62, so to undo this change you need 44.186% instead.
