How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |44 − 60| = 16
  2. Average of the values: (44 + 60) ÷ 2 = 52
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 16 ÷ 52 × 100 = 30.7692%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.307692 × 52 = 16, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(44-60)/((44+60)/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

60 is 16 more than 44. Measured against their average, 52, that gap is 30.7692%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $44 and another $60 for the same item, the prices differ by 30.7692%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 16 by 44 gives 36.3636%, and dividing it by 60 gives 26.6667%. The average, 52, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
