Compare two distances
Compare two distances expressed in the same unit and see the gap, ratio and percentage difference.
Route A is 12 km and route B is 15 km. B is 3 km longer, or 1.25 times the distance of A.
Compare two distances
Compare two distances expressed in the same unit and see the gap, ratio and percentage difference.
Percentage difference uses the average of the two distances as the reference.
Example
With A = 10 and B = 15, the absolute gap is 5 units. The bars make the difference visible before the detailed result.
How to read the result
The gap is the absolute difference between A and B. The ratio answers “how many times?”, while the percentage difference compares the gap with the average magnitude of the two values.
A percentage difference is useful for relative comparison, but it does not replace the absolute gap. Always keep the unit and the real-world scale in view.
Percentage difference is symmetric: swapping A and B does not change the result. Percentage change is directional and does change when the reference value changes.
