Outbound 500 Inbound 500 // Cancel inbound flight

Fare difference means that if you rebook the ticket you have to pay for the difference in fare. So if you buy a $900 ticket, cancel the reservation, and then use it for a $1200 flight, you'd have to pay $300 for the fare difference in addition to the change fee and other fees and taxes.
This doesn't apply if the fare is refunded to you, of course.

In addition to phoogs excellent answer, there is a gotcha when it comes to return tickets.
If you buy your outbound and return flights as part of the same ticket, so a return ticket, and you cancel either portion of the ticket, the other portion will often be re-ticketed as a single and the appropriate fare difference will be applied.
So, if you paid $500 for the outbound and $900 for the return as part of the same ticket, and you cancelled the $900 return portion, then the airline will look to see what price the $500 outbound portion should have been as a single.
If the single for the same portion was being sold for $1000, then you would get back the following:
500 + 900 = 1400 (this is the total you paid)
1400 - 1000 = 400 (this is the re-ticketing of the outbound)
400 - 70 = 330 (this is the residual value)
So in my above example, you would get back $330 (perhaps a bit more if airport taxes and fees are considered separately).
Note that the figures I use are an example - you would need to speak to the airline to see just what the actual figures might be.
