How to work it out

  1. Difference: 81 − 80 = 1
  2. Divide by the starting value: 1 ÷ 80 = 0.0125
  3. Multiply by 100: 1.25%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 80 × (1 + 0.0125) = 80 × 1.0125 = 81.

In a spreadsheet: =(81-80)/80*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 1.0125 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 101.25.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $80 to $81 has gone up by 1.25%.

Why the change back is different

A 1.25% rise followed by a 1.25% fall does not bring you back to 80: it gives 79.9875. The second percentage is taken of 81, not of 80, so to undo this change you need 1.2346% instead.
