What are Basis Points?

Basis points (bps) are a unit of measure used in financial markets to express small percentage changes. One basis point equals 1/100th of 1% (0.01% or 0.0001 in decimal).

Common Uses:

  • Interest rates and changes in them
  • Fund management fees
  • Bond yields
  • Credit spreads
  • Stock index variations

Tip: Basis points eliminate ambiguity when expressing changes. Saying '50 bps increase' is clearer than 'increase of 0.5 percentage points'.
