How to work it out

  1. Difference: 76 − 62 = 14
  2. Divide by the starting value: 14 ÷ 62 = 0.225806
  3. Multiply by 100: 22.5806%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 62 × (1 + 0.225806) = 62 × 1.225806 = 76.

In a spreadsheet: =(76-62)/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 1.2258 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 122.5806.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $62 to $76 has gone up by 22.5806%.

Why the change back is different

A 22.5806% rise followed by a 22.5806% fall does not bring you back to 62: it gives 58.8387. The second percentage is taken of 76, not of 62, so to undo this change you need 18.4211% instead.
