How to work it out

  1. Difference: 93 − 86 = 7
  2. Divide by the starting value: 7 ÷ 86 = 0.081395
  3. Multiply by 100: 8.1395%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 86 × (1 + 0.081395) = 86 × 1.081395 = 93.

In a spreadsheet: =(93-86)/86*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 1.0814 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 108.1395.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $86 to $93 has gone up by 8.1395%.

Why the change back is different

A 8.1395% rise followed by a 8.1395% fall does not bring you back to 86: it gives 85.4302. The second percentage is taken of 93, not of 86, so to undo this change you need 7.5269% instead.
