How to work it out

  1. Difference: 62 − 10 = 52
  2. Divide by the starting value: 52 ÷ 10 = 5.2
  3. Multiply by 100: 520%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 10 × (1 + 5.2) = 10 × 6.2 = 62.

In a spreadsheet: =(62-10)/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 6.2 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 620. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $10 to $62 has gone up by 520%.

Why the change back is different

A 520% rise followed by a 520% fall does not bring you back to 10: it gives -260.4. The second percentage is taken of 62, not of 10, so to undo this change you need 83.871% instead.
