How to work it out

  1. Difference: 95 − 83 = 12
  2. Divide by the starting value: 12 ÷ 83 = 0.144578
  3. Multiply by 100: 14.4578%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 83 × (1 + 0.144578) = 83 × 1.144578 = 95.

In a spreadsheet: =(95-83)/83*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 1.1446 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 114.4578.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $83 to $95 has gone up by 14.4578%.

Why the change back is different

A 14.4578% rise followed by a 14.4578% fall does not bring you back to 83: it gives 81.2651. The second percentage is taken of 95, not of 83, so to undo this change you need 12.6316% instead.
