Percentage Difference Calculator
Percentage Difference: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers value a and value b. Stub page: the tool, its formula and a worked example are not published yet.
Percentage Difference Calculator is a planned calculator in the mathematics section of Super Calculator, covering algebra and number theory.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: value a and value b.
Outputs: percentage difference (%), absolute difference, mean and percentage change in both directions.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Percentage difference = 100 * |a - b| / ((a + b)/2), using the mean of the two values as the base because neither is privileged as the reference. Distinct from percentage change, which uses the original value as the base.
