How to work it out

  1. Difference: 85 − 63 = 22
  2. Divide by the starting value: 22 ÷ 63 = 0.349206
  3. Multiply by 100: 34.9206%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 63 × (1 + 0.349206) = 63 × 1.349206 = 85.

In a spreadsheet: =(85-63)/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 1.3492 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 134.9206.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $63 to $85 has gone up by 34.9206%.

Why the change back is different

A 34.9206% rise followed by a 34.9206% fall does not bring you back to 63: it gives 55.3175. The second percentage is taken of 85, not of 63, so to undo this change you need 25.8824% instead.
