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
