How it works

Percentage-point change = new percentage − original percentage. Basis-point change = percentage-point change × 100. Relative change = percentage-point change ÷ original percentage × 100, unless the original is zero.

Worked examples

  2. 40% to 35%: −5 percentage points; −500 basis points
