How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |11 − 14| = 3
  2. Average of the values: (11 + 14) ÷ 2 = 12.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 3 ÷ 12.5 × 100 = 24%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.24 × 12.5 = 3, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(11-14)/((11+14)/2)*100. Dividing by one of the values instead of their average turns it into a percentage change, which depends on which value you start from.

What the result means

14 is 3 more than 11. Measured against their average, 12.5, that gap is 24%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $11 and another $14 for the same item, the prices differ by 24%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 3 by 11 gives 27.2727%, and dividing it by 14 gives 21.4286%. The average, 12.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
