What Is Percentage Difference?
The percentage difference shows how much two numbers differ relative to their average. It's a useful tool when you want to compare values **without assuming one is the “starting point.”**
Formula:
|Value1 - Value2| / ((Value1 + Value2) / 2) × 100
Examples
Example 1:
Compare 100 and 120
|100 - 120| / ((100 + 120) / 2) × 100 = 18.18%
Example 2:
Compare 40 and 60
|40 - 60| / ((40 + 60) / 2) × 100 = 40%
