What are 'Basis Point (BPS)'. Basis point (BPS) refer 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% (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.
Spreads. When basis points are used to express the difference between two interest rates, they are said to be expressing the spread between the two rates. For example, the spread between 1.50 percent and a 1 percent interest rate has a yield of 50 basis points, or 150 basis points minus 100 basis points.
