How to work it out

  1. Difference: 92 − 66 = 26
  2. Divide by the starting value: 26 ÷ 66 = 0.393939
  3. Multiply by 100: 39.3939%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 66 × (1 + 0.393939) = 66 × 1.393939 = 92.

In a spreadsheet: =(92-66)/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 1.3939 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 139.3939.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $66 to $92 has gone up by 39.3939%.

Why the change back is different

A 39.3939% rise followed by a 39.3939% fall does not bring you back to 66: it gives 55.7576. The second percentage is taken of 92, not of 66, so to undo this change you need 28.2609% instead.
