How to work it out

  1. Difference: 92 − 62 = 30
  2. Divide by the starting value: 30 ÷ 62 = 0.483871
  3. Multiply by 100: 48.3871%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 62 × (1 + 0.483871) = 62 × 1.483871 = 92.

In a spreadsheet: =(92-62)/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 1.4839 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 148.3871.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $62 to $92 has gone up by 48.3871%.

Why the change back is different

A 48.3871% rise followed by a 48.3871% fall does not bring you back to 62: it gives 47.4839. The second percentage is taken of 92, not of 62, so to undo this change you need 32.6087% instead.
