What differs, and by how much

Different everyday word The two terms share no characters at all. In Taiwan the standard term is 簡報; on the Mainland it is 演示文稿 - both point at “presentation”.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 簡報、演示文稿 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.

Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.

Pair source: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
