How to work it out

  1. Difference: 96 − 10 = 86
  2. Divide by the starting value: 86 ÷ 10 = 8.6
  3. Multiply by 100: 860%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 10 × (1 + 8.6) = 10 × 9.6 = 96.

In a spreadsheet: =(96-10)/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 9.6 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 960. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $10 to $96 has gone up by 860%.

Why the change back is different

A 860% rise followed by a 860% fall does not bring you back to 10: it gives -729.6. The second percentage is taken of 96, not of 10, so to undo this change you need 89.5833% instead.
