How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |58 − 63| = 5
  2. Average of the values: (58 + 63) ÷ 2 = 60.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 5 ÷ 60.5 × 100 = 8.2645%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.082645 × 60.5 = 5, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(58-63)/((58+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 5 more than 58. Measured against their average, 60.5, that gap is 8.2645%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $58 and another $63 for the same item, the prices differ by 8.2645%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 5 by 58 gives 8.6207%, and dividing it by 63 gives 7.9365%. The average, 60.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
