The 20% is an average usually at the higher tier items. Low tier items have a much larger gap. Even still, it's always a rough guideline based on how much str/dex/vit/int your character has at the time as these will also effect the gap between tiers to an extent. Anymore I don't even bother to assume anything, I do the actual math to figure out the gap between items when it's necessary.

Going to add some numbers from the math I've done on my currently MQ armour on HC.
190%ee level 40 scale with 88vit + 20int = Physical Defense: 58 to 233, Magical Defense: 36 to 110
168%ee level 45 scale with 88vit + 20int = Physical Defense: 58 to 233, Magical Defense: 36 to 110
147%ee level 50 scale with 88vit + 20int = Physical Defense: 58 to 233, Magical Defense: 36 to 110
128%ee level 55 scale with 88vit + 20int = Physical Defense: 58 to 233, Magical Defense: 36 to 110
Gaps are as follows:
22% from 40-45
21% from 45-50
19% from 50-55
Total %ee gap from 40-55 = 62%
62%/3 = 20.67% average per tier at this level
Interesting formula, now let us take it from Base stats:
Level 40 (XI) Sword = 11-110 Base damage * 1.22 = 13.42 (rounded down to 13) to 134.20 (rounded down to 134)
Level 45 (XII) Sword = 12-120 Base Damage.
... So the difference is: +1 minimum damage to +14 maximum damage using the equation of 22% as a comparison from level 40 (Tier11) to level 45 (Tier12) item.
Now 20% difference between the same Tier level base damage:
Level 40 (XI) Sword = 11-110 Base damage * 1.20 = 13.20 (rounded down to 13) to 132.00 (rounded down to 132)
Level 45 (XII) Sword = 12-120 Base damage.
... So the difference is: +1 minimum damage to +13 maximum damage using the equation of 20% as a comparison from level 40 (Tier11) to level 45 (Tier12) item.
Sorry, the maths you posted are off, just like this guy in this quote below:

This already exists. Maybe one of your "friends" could share it with you. Look another nugget of knowledge. I really shouldn't help people like you.
Seeing Ryan post here made me come back. Disappointed in the effort he wasted trying to help a fool.

The math is not off based on the character's current stats. I assure you it is correct
Forget the stats, that is the conflicting issue in your post. The 2 items I posted are on the same character that has the exact same stats and the outcome is the same.
Now if you are talking about the difference of 2 different characters, you are correct, but, you state that there is no difference. Test it out... even if they are just white
items of different tier level placed on the same toon.
Re Edit: taking the maths from the Ladder Slasher information, i.e. Swords (base damage), the maths point out differently to what you have stated.
