How to work it out

  1. Difference: 57 − 52 = 5
  2. Divide by the starting value: 5 ÷ 52 = 0.096154
  3. Multiply by 100: 9.6154%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 52 × (1 + 0.096154) = 52 × 1.096154 = 57.

In a spreadsheet: =(57-52)/52*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 1.0962 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 109.6154.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $52 to $57 has gone up by 9.6154%.

Why the change back is different

A 9.6154% rise followed by a 9.6154% fall does not bring you back to 52: it gives 51.5192. The second percentage is taken of 57, not of 52, so to undo this change you need 8.7719% instead.
