How to work it out

  1. Difference: 57 − 10 = 47
  2. Divide by the starting value: 47 ÷ 10 = 4.7
  3. Multiply by 100: 470%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 10 × (1 + 4.7) = 10 × 5.7 = 57.

In a spreadsheet: =(57-10)/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 5.7 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 570. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $10 to $57 has gone up by 470%.

Why the change back is different

A 470% rise followed by a 470% fall does not bring you back to 10: it gives -210.9. The second percentage is taken of 57, not of 10, so to undo this change you need 82.4561% instead.
