How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |62 − 80| = 18
  2. Average of the values: (62 + 80) ÷ 2 = 71
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 18 ÷ 71 × 100 = 25.3521%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.253521 × 71 = 18, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(62-80)/((62+80)/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

80 is 18 more than 62. Measured against their average, 71, that gap is 25.3521%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $62 and another $80 for the same item, the prices differ by 25.3521%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 18 by 62 gives 29.0323%, and dividing it by 80 gives 22.5%. The average, 71, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
