How to work it out

  1. Difference: 58 − 52 = 6
  2. Divide by the starting value: 6 ÷ 52 = 0.115385
  3. Multiply by 100: 11.5385%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 52 × (1 + 0.115385) = 52 × 1.115385 = 58.

In a spreadsheet: =(58-52)/52*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 1.1154 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 111.5385.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $52 to $58 has gone up by 11.5385%.

Why the change back is different

A 11.5385% rise followed by a 11.5385% fall does not bring you back to 52: it gives 51.3077. The second percentage is taken of 58, not of 52, so to undo this change you need 10.3448% instead.
