How to work it out

  1. Difference: 58 − 1 = 57
  2. Divide by the starting value: 57 ÷ 1 = 57
  3. Multiply by 100: 5,700%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 1 × (1 + 57) = 1 × 58 = 58.

In a spreadsheet: =(58-1)/1*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 58 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 5,800. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $1 to $58 has gone up by 5,700%.

Why the change back is different

A 5,700% rise followed by a 5,700% fall does not bring you back to 1: it gives -3,248. The second percentage is taken of 58, not of 1, so to undo this change you need 98.2759% instead.
