How to work it out

  1. Difference: 60 − 66 = -6
  2. Divide by the starting value: -6 ÷ 66 = -0.090909
  3. Multiply by 100: -9.0909%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 66 × (1 − 0.090909) = 66 × 0.909091 = 60.

In a spreadsheet: =(60-66)/66*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 90.9091% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 90.9091, so 9.0909 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $66 to $60 is a 9.0909% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 9.0909% fall followed by a 9.0909% rise does not bring you back to 66: it gives 65.4545. The second percentage is taken of 60, not of 66, so to undo this change you need 10% instead.
