How to work it out

  1. Difference: 94 − 90 = 4
  2. Divide by the starting value: 4 ÷ 90 = 0.044444
  3. Multiply by 100: 4.4444%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 90 × (1 + 0.044444) = 90 × 1.044444 = 94.

In a spreadsheet: =(94-90)/90*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 1.0444 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 104.4444.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $90 to $94 has gone up by 4.4444%.

Why the change back is different

A 4.4444% rise followed by a 4.4444% fall does not bring you back to 90: it gives 89.8222. The second percentage is taken of 94, not of 90, so to undo this change you need 4.2553% instead.
