How to use it

Enter two nonnegative values. The percentage difference is their absolute difference divided by their average, multiplied by 100.

A worked example

For 100 and 120, the difference is 20 and the average is 110. The percentage difference is 18.1818%. Swapping the two values gives the same answer.

What to know

Percentage difference treats both values equally. Percentage change uses an original value as its denominator. Use the separate Percentage change tool for growth or decline over time. Two zero values return 0%.
