How to work it out

  1. Difference: 56 − 10 = 46
  2. Divide by the starting value: 46 ÷ 10 = 4.6
  3. Multiply by 100: 460%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 10 × (1 + 4.6) = 10 × 5.6 = 56.

In a spreadsheet: =(56-10)/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 5.6 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 560. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $10 to $56 has gone up by 460%.

Why the change back is different

A 460% rise followed by a 460% fall does not bring you back to 10: it gives -201.6. The second percentage is taken of 56, not of 10, so to undo this change you need 82.1429% instead.
