How to work it out

  1. Difference: 100 − 99 = 1
  2. Divide by the starting value: 1 ÷ 99 = 0.010101
  3. Multiply by 100: 1.0101%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 99 × (1 + 0.010101) = 99 × 1.010101 = 100.

In a spreadsheet: =(100-99)/99*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 1.0101 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 101.0101.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $99 to $100 has gone up by 1.0101%.

Why the change back is different

A 1.0101% rise followed by a 1.0101% fall does not bring you back to 99: it gives 98.9899. The second percentage is taken of 100, not of 99, so to undo this change you need 1% instead.
