How to work it out

  1. Difference: 93 − 94 = -1
  2. Divide by the starting value: -1 ÷ 94 = -0.010638
  3. Multiply by 100: -1.0638%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 94 × (1 − 0.010638) = 94 × 0.989362 = 93.

In a spreadsheet: =(93-94)/94*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 98.9362% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 98.9362, so 1.0638 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $94 to $93 is a 1.0638% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 1.0638% fall followed by a 1.0638% rise does not bring you back to 94: it gives 93.9894. The second percentage is taken of 93, not of 94, so to undo this change you need 1.0753% instead.
