How to work it out

  1. Difference: 84 − 62 = 22
  2. Divide by the starting value: 22 ÷ 62 = 0.354839
  3. Multiply by 100: 35.4839%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 62 × (1 + 0.354839) = 62 × 1.354839 = 84.

In a spreadsheet: =(84-62)/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 1.3548 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 135.4839.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $62 to $84 has gone up by 35.4839%.

Why the change back is different

A 35.4839% rise followed by a 35.4839% fall does not bring you back to 62: it gives 54.1935. The second percentage is taken of 84, not of 62, so to undo this change you need 26.1905% instead.
