@maybags It’s not 75% of the fare difference. It is a refund of 75% of the fare you paid for the cabin you didn’t get to fly in less any APD or government taxes. The YQ element of the fare should be included.
And the 75% is only for the longest routes (over 3,500km?). Shorthaul below 1,500km pays 30% and medium haul pays 50%
The easiest way to check what is relevant is to check your e-ticket receipt which should give the details. Or use Finnair’s website, key in your BA PNR into their MMB and email yourself the e-ticket receipt.
Not sure if Finnair lets you do that if the flight has been flown though. I have got into the habit of doing it just after I book.
