How to work it out

  1. Difference: 69 − 63 = 6
  2. Divide by the starting value: 6 ÷ 63 = 0.095238
  3. Multiply by 100: 9.5238%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 63 × (1 + 0.095238) = 63 × 1.095238 = 69.

In a spreadsheet: =(69-63)/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 1.0952 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 109.5238.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $63 to $69 has gone up by 9.5238%.

Why the change back is different

A 9.5238% rise followed by a 9.5238% fall does not bring you back to 63: it gives 62.4286. The second percentage is taken of 69, not of 63, so to undo this change you need 8.6957% instead.
