How to work it out

  1. Difference: 100 − 95 = 5
  2. Divide by the starting value: 5 ÷ 95 = 0.052632
  3. Multiply by 100: 5.2632%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 95 × (1 + 0.052632) = 95 × 1.052632 = 100.

In a spreadsheet: =(100-95)/95*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 1.0526 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 105.2632.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $95 to $100 has gone up by 5.2632%.

Why the change back is different

A 5.2632% rise followed by a 5.2632% fall does not bring you back to 95: it gives 94.7368. The second percentage is taken of 100, not of 95, so to undo this change you need 5% instead.
