The Percentage Difference Calculator determines the percentage difference between two positive values greater than 0. This calculation helps you understand how much one number differs from another relative to their average.
Percentage difference is commonly used when you want to compare how much two numbers differ in percentage terms. In this calculator, the order of the numbers doesn't matter, as we calculate the difference between them and then divide by their average. If you're looking to calculate the relative change from an old value to a new value, you may want to calculate percentage change instead.
This Percentage Difference Calculator helps you determine the percentage difference between two values, highlighting how much they vary relative to each other.
The formula for calculating percentage difference is:
\( \text{Percentage Difference} = \frac{| \text{Value 1} - \text{Value 2} |}{\frac{\text{Value 1} + \text{Value 2}}{2}} \times 100 \)
If Value 1 is 120 and Value 2 is 100, you can calculate the percentage difference as follows:
\( \text{Percentage Difference} = \frac{|120 - 100|}{\frac{120 + 100}{2}} \times 100 = \frac{20}{110} \times 100 = 18.18\% \)
