How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |14 − 63| = 49
  2. Average of the values: (14 + 63) ÷ 2 = 38.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 49 ÷ 38.5 × 100 = 127.2727%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.272727 × 38.5 = 49, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(14-63)/((14+63)/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

63 is 49 more than 14. Measured against their average, 38.5, that gap is 127.2727%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $14 and another $63 for the same item, the prices differ by 127.2727%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 49 by 14 gives 350%, and dividing it by 63 gives 77.7778%. The average, 38.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
