How to work it out

  1. Difference: 80 − 62 = 18
  2. Divide by the starting value: 18 ÷ 62 = 0.290323
  3. Multiply by 100: 29.0323%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 62 × (1 + 0.290323) = 62 × 1.290323 = 80.

In a spreadsheet: =(80-62)/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 1.2903 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 129.0323.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $62 to $80 has gone up by 29.0323%.

Why the change back is different

A 29.0323% rise followed by a 29.0323% fall does not bring you back to 62: it gives 56.7742. The second percentage is taken of 80, not of 62, so to undo this change you need 22.5% instead.
