How to calculate percentage for sum of difference of two columns in sql

I have two columns in the same table, that needs to be summed and get the difference and then calculate the percentage?

SELECT sum([BillCount]) - sum([IssueCount]) as [Difference]
FROM Invoice
where [Year] = '2015'

In the above query I got the result for the difference as 244234. Now I need to calculate the percentage by dividing the difference with the actual Billcount 260918.

sample Data:

SELECT sum(BillCount) as bills, sum(IssueCount) as issues
FROM Invoice
where [Year] = '2015'

Result: Bills: 260918 Issues: 16684 Difference: 244234 Divide Difference By actual Bills: 244234/260918 = 0.93 Percentage: 0.93*100 = 93.60

I have used the changed divisor from zero to one. But I am getting the percentage result in many rows, like for each individual billcount. Is there any way that I could get the exact percentage in one row like we calculate in calculator? Thanks.

Like this?

SELECT sum([BillCount]) - sum([IssueCount]) as [Difference],
    (sum(IssueCount) - sum(BillCount)) / nullif(sum(BillCount), 0) as ptcdiff
FROM Invoice
where [Year] = '2015'

You'll note I changed the order of subtraction. This makes it so that its a negative change rather than a positive change. If you need an absolute. change, you can just throw abs() around the result. You can also bake this into a function if it makes sense to

declare 
    @pctOld float = 260918,
    @pctNew float = 16684  

select PctDiff = case when @PctNew is null or @PctOld is null then null
                       when @PctNew = null or @PctOld = null then null
                       when @PctNew = 0 and @PctOld = 0 then 0    
                       when @PctNew = 0 and @PctOld > 0 then -100.00
                       when @PctNew >= 0 and @PctOld < 0 then null
                       when @PctNew < 0 and @PctOld > 0 then null
                       when @PctOld = 0 then null
                       else ((@PctNew - @PctOld) / abs(@PctOld)) * 100.0
                  end

Divide your current expression with SUM([BillCount]) aggregated value

Something like this 

select (sum([BillCount]) - sum([IssueCount])) / NULLIF(sum([BillCount]),0) * 100
FROM Invoice
where [Year] = '2015'

Subquery like this

Select Difference/nullif(sum(BIllCount), 1) From (SELECT sum([BillCount]) - sum([IssueCount]) as [Difference],
FROM Invoice
where [Year] = '2015') Per
