What is a basis point?

A basis point (bp or bps) is a unit equal to one hundredth of one percent. 1 bp = 0.01% = 0.0001. Widely used in fixed income to express precise rate changes.

Why use bps?

Saying "rates rose by 0.50%" is ambiguous — did rates go from 5% to 5.5% (relative) or 5% to 5.5 percentage points (absolute)? "50 bps" is always unambiguous.

Common conversions

1 bp = 0.01%
100 bps = 1%
10,000 bps = 100%
25 bps = 0.25% (a typical Fed move)
