How to work it out

  1. Difference: 58 − 8 = 50
  2. Divide by the starting value: 50 ÷ 8 = 6.25
  3. Multiply by 100: 625%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 8 × (1 + 6.25) = 8 × 7.25 = 58.

In a spreadsheet: =(58-8)/8*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 7.25 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 725. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $8 to $58 has gone up by 625%.

Why the change back is different

A 625% rise followed by a 625% fall does not bring you back to 8: it gives -304.5. The second percentage is taken of 58, not of 8, so to undo this change you need 86.2069% instead.
