About this app

The Percentage Difference Calculator is here to help you in determining the difference between two figures. We’ll teach you how to compute the % difference between two numbers and how to correctly describe what the percentage difference is and how to avoid certain typical blunders. Finally, we’ll also go through the variations between different percentage calculators and how to present the data in deceptive (but technically correct) ways to establish various points.

How to calculate percentage difference?
The Percentage Difference Calculator will calculate the percent difference between two positive values that are larger than zero. You normally calculate the percentage difference when you wish to determine the % difference between two numbers.

Perform the following computations to find the percentage difference between two values, a and b:

To find the absolute difference between two integers, use the following formula: (a-b) a-b) a-b) a-b)
Calculate the average of the two figures: 2 = (a + b)
Calculate the difference by multiplying it by the average: ((a + b) / 2) |a – b|
Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentages.
We’ll need a difference first, which is two numbers that aren’t identical. Take the numbers 24 and 32 as an example; the difference between them is 8. Now we need to convert 8 to a percentage, which requires a point of reference, and you may be wondering if you should choose 24 or 32. Unfortunately, we haven’t given these numbers any context, so none of them is a good reference point. The most honest solution is to use the average, or midway, of these two values.
