What function can I use/make to figure the difference in percentage between 2
monetary amounts?

Hi

40 in A1. 80 in B1. In C1 formula
=A1/B1
format as percent numberformat and you may discover that 40 is 50% of 80.

HTH. Best wishes Harald

I think OP wants the <difference:
=(B1-A1)/A1 or =B1/A1 - 1
format as percentage

I would use the formula

=(B1-A1)/abs(A1)

where the data in B1 is new and the data in A1 is what you want to compare
to. The reference to the absolute value in the denominator insures that the
percent change signs are correct if and when a negative number were to occur.
