How to work it out

  1. Difference: 57 − 5 = 52
  2. Divide by the starting value: 52 ÷ 5 = 10.4
  3. Multiply by 100: 1,040%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 5 × (1 + 10.4) = 5 × 11.4 = 57.

In a spreadsheet: =(57-5)/5*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 11.4 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 1,140. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $5 to $57 has gone up by 1,040%.

Why the change back is different

A 1,040% rise followed by a 1,040% fall does not bring you back to 5: it gives -535.8. The second percentage is taken of 57, not of 5, so to undo this change you need 91.2281% instead.
