How to work it out

  1. Difference: 54 − 10 = 44
  2. Divide by the starting value: 44 ÷ 10 = 4.4
  3. Multiply by 100: 440%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 10 × (1 + 4.4) = 10 × 5.4 = 54.

In a spreadsheet: =(54-10)/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 5.4 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 540. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $10 to $54 has gone up by 440%.

Why the change back is different

A 440% rise followed by a 440% fall does not bring you back to 10: it gives -183.6. The second percentage is taken of 54, not of 10, so to undo this change you need 81.4815% instead.
