How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |62 − 81| = 19
  2. Average of the values: (62 + 81) ÷ 2 = 71.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 19 ÷ 71.5 × 100 = 26.5734%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.265734 × 71.5 = 19, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(62-81)/((62+81)/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

81 is 19 more than 62. Measured against their average, 71.5, that gap is 26.5734%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $62 and another $81 for the same item, the prices differ by 26.5734%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 19 by 62 gives 30.6452%, and dividing it by 81 gives 23.4568%. The average, 71.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
