How to work it out

  1. Difference: 100 − 10 = 90
  2. Divide by the starting value: 90 ÷ 10 = 9
  3. Multiply by 100: 900%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 10 × (1 + 9) = 10 × 10 = 100.

In a spreadsheet: =(100-10)/10*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 10 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 1,000. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $10 to $100 has gone up by 900%.

Why the change back is different

A 900% rise followed by a 900% fall does not bring you back to 10: it gives -800. The second percentage is taken of 100, not of 10, so to undo this change you need 90% instead.
