How it is calculated

Percent = decimal × 100, which moves the decimal point two places to the right: 0.375 × 100 = 37.5%.

Example

Inputs: Decimal number = 0.375. Result: Percentage: 37.5%.

Limits and caveats

  • The equivalent fraction is built from the digits typed, so 0.333 gives 333/1000, not 1/3.

Questions about this tool

How do I turn 0.05 into a percentage?

Multiply by 100 to get 5%.

Why does 1.2 give 120%?

Because 1 equals 100%, so any number above 1 is more than 100%.

Is the result affected by rounding errors?

No. The decimal point is shifted on the digits you typed, so 0.07 gives exactly 7%.
