Question What are 'Basis Point (BPS)'?
Advice from Guru
Hello Fluffy,

Basis point (BPS) refers to a common unit of measure for interest rates and other percentages in finance. One basis point is equal to 1/100th of 1%, or 0.01%, or 0.0001, and is used to denote the percentage change in a financial instrument. The relationship between percentage changes and basis points can be summarized as follows: 1% change = 100 basis points, and 0.01% = 1 basis point.

Basis point is typically expressed in the abbreviations "bp", "bps", or "bips."
