1 bp = 0.01 percentage pointsBasis points describe absolute movements in percentages and rates; they are not the same as relative percent change.

Convert basis points

Choose basis points, percent, or decimal rate as the input. One basis point is exactly 0.01 percentage points, so 100 bps equals 1 percentage point or 0.01 in decimal-rate form.

Avoid percentage ambiguity

Basis points describe absolute movement in a percentage or rate. A move from 4% to 5% is +100 bps but a +25% relative increase.
