How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |14 − 34| = 20
  2. Average of the values: (14 + 34) ÷ 2 = 24
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 20 ÷ 24 × 100 = 83.3333%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.833333 × 24 = 20, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(14-34)/((14+34)/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

34 is 20 more than 14. Measured against their average, 24, that gap is 83.3333%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $14 and another $34 for the same item, the prices differ by 83.3333%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 20 by 14 gives 142.8571%, and dividing it by 34 gives 58.8235%. The average, 24, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
