How to work it out

  1. Difference: 92 − 16 = 76
  2. Divide by the starting value: 76 ÷ 16 = 4.75
  3. Multiply by 100: 475%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 16 × (1 + 4.75) = 16 × 5.75 = 92.

In a spreadsheet: =(92-16)/16*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 5.75 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 575. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $16 to $92 has gone up by 475%.

Why the change back is different

A 475% rise followed by a 475% fall does not bring you back to 16: it gives -345. The second percentage is taken of 92, not of 16, so to undo this change you need 82.6087% instead.
