Let's take Malva's Pyroar. At level 63 and a neutral nature, it has 851 around stats. With max EVs it gets about 80 more, a 9% increase.
But that's assuming its evenly distributed. With 0 EVs in special attack, the pyroar has 161 sp. atk. With 252 and a boosting nature, it goes to 221, a 37% increase.
