How to work it out

  1. Difference: 62 − 57 = 5
  2. Divide by the starting value: 5 ÷ 57 = 0.087719
  3. Multiply by 100: 8.7719%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 57 × (1 + 0.087719) = 57 × 1.087719 = 62.

In a spreadsheet: =(62-57)/57*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 1.0877 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 108.7719.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $57 to $62 has gone up by 8.7719%.

Why the change back is different

A 8.7719% rise followed by a 8.7719% fall does not bring you back to 57: it gives 56.5614. The second percentage is taken of 62, not of 57, so to undo this change you need 8.0645% instead.
