How to work it out

  1. Difference: 33 − 63 = -30
  2. Divide by the starting value: -30 ÷ 63 = -0.47619
  3. Multiply by 100: -47.619%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 63 × (1 − 0.47619) = 63 × 0.52381 = 33.

In a spreadsheet: =(33-63)/63*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 52.381% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 52.381, so 47.619 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $63 to $33 is a 47.619% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 47.619% fall followed by a 47.619% rise does not bring you back to 63: it gives 48.7143. The second percentage is taken of 33, not of 63, so to undo this change you need 90.9091% instead.
