How to work it out

  1. Difference: 88 − 62 = 26
  2. Divide by the starting value: 26 ÷ 62 = 0.419355
  3. Multiply by 100: 41.9355%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 62 × (1 + 0.419355) = 62 × 1.419355 = 88.

In a spreadsheet: =(88-62)/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 1.4194 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 141.9355.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $62 to $88 has gone up by 41.9355%.

Why the change back is different

A 41.9355% rise followed by a 41.9355% fall does not bring you back to 62: it gives 51.0968. The second percentage is taken of 88, not of 62, so to undo this change you need 29.5455% instead.
