Why Use Basis Points?

Basis points (bps) provide a precise way to discuss small percentage changes, especially in finance. Unlike percentages, bps eliminate ambiguity when discussing rate changes.

  • 1 bps = 0.01% (1/100th of 1%)
  • 100 bps = 1%
  • Commonly used in interest rates, bond yields, and financial fees

Common Use Cases

Banking & Loans

Interest rate changes, loan spreads
