A means of expressing interest rates. 1 basis point = 0.01%. Eg if interest rates are 7% and there is a 50 basis point rise, the new interest rate will be 7.5

Basis points are used to express the difference between two percentage amounts. One hundred basis points equates to one percent.

The amount of change in (yield) (gain) in home loans - 1/4 of 1 percent (0.25percent) is 25 basis points (bps)

One-100th of 1 percent. Used primarily to describe changes in yield or price on debt instruments including mortgages and mortgage-backed securities.

One one-hundredth of one percent (1/100th of 1% = .0001 = 1 basis point). Commonly used in the calculation of fees, trail commissions and yields.

Units of measure. Each percentage point equals 100 basis points. For example, a quarter of a percentage point equals 25 basis points.

The measure of yields on bonds and notes; one basis point equals 0.01% of yield.

Used for the purpose of calculating fractions of interest percentages. 100 basis points equals 1 percentage point of interest.

1/100th of a percentage point. These tiny fractions long have been used in the bond markets but have recently entered the vocabulary of monetary policy. Apparently it is cooler to say that the Federal Reserve is raising the discount rate by "25 basis points" rather than by one quarter of a percentage point.

One -one hundredth of 1 percent. Used to describe changes in yield or price on mortgages or mortgage securities.

Refers to the yield on bonds. Each percentage point of yield in a bond equals 100 basis points. E.g., if a bond yield changes from 7.25% to 7.39%, that is a rise of 14 basis points.

One basis point equals 0.01% interest. For example, 25 basis points equals 0.25%.

Basis points refer to 1/100 of one percent in interest rates. If interest rates increase 50 basis points they go up 0.5 percent.

One-hundredth of 1%. Used to describe the amount of change in yield in mortgages. For example, 1/2 of 1 percent (.50%) equals 50 basis points.

These refer to the yield on bonds, with each percentage point of the yield on the bond equaling 100 basis points. Thus if a bonds price rises from 6.25% to 6.49%, this represents a rise of 24 basis points.

Refers to yield on bonds, and each percentage point of yield in bonds equals 100 basis points.

The fees in your annuity. The number of basis points reflects a percentage of your investment. For example, 200 basis points would be 2 percent of your investment.

A unit that is equal to 1/100th of 1%, and is used in denoting the change in a financial instrument. Basis points are commonly used for calculating changes in yield of a fixed-income security, interest rates and equity indexes.

One hundredth of a percentage point. 50 basis points [50bp] is half a percentage point.

Representing a hundredth of a percent, a basis point is used to measure changes in interest rates.

One basis point equals 0.01% yield of a bond or note and therefore 100 basis points equals 1% of yield.

An investment term that refers to hundredths of one percent yield. Thus, "50 basis points" higher yield is equal to 1/2 percent higher yield for a particular investment.

There are 100 basis points in one percent; thus, 50 basis points equal one-half percent.

A "basis point" is 1/100th of a percentage point.

A measure of changes in interest rates that is 1/100th of 1 percent. A chance of 50 basis points equals 1/2 of 1 percent.

The percentage that the Fed raises bank rates. For example, an increase of 25 basis points is the same as an increase of .25 to the Fed rate.

A measure used in assessing interest rates. One Basis Point is one-hundredth of one percent. Accordingly, 25 basis points is ¼ of 1% interest.

1/100th of 1 percent. If an interest rate changes 50 basis points, for example, it has moved 1/2 of 1 percent.

Refers to interest rates on bonds. Each percentage point of yield in bonds equals 100 basis points. If a bond yield changes from 7.25 % to 7.39 %, that's a rise of 14 basis points.

A relationship between a bond’s price and a yield subdivided into hundredths. One hundred basis points equals 1 percent interest yield.

100th of 1%. (Example: Rates are 12.75% this week and were 12.25% last week - an increase of 50 basis points.)

A "basis point" is 1/100 th of a percentage point. With regard to merchant processing, there are 50 basis points separating the Qualified and Mid-Qualified discount rates and 140 basis points separating the Qualified and Non-Qualified discount rates. Example: a merchant with a Qualified Discount Rate of 2.35% would have Mid-Qualified and Non-Qualified Discount Rates of 2.85% and 3.75% respectively.

one hundredth of one per cent – 0.01

Basis Points are a unit of measurement used to describe yield. A basis point is 1/100 of 1%.

The smallest measure used in quoting yields or performance differentials. One basis point equals one per cent of one per cent, or 0.01%.

A basis point is 1/100 or 1% interest; thus, 50 basis points equal .50%.

A unit of measure used in expressing interest rates on loans or discount rates on bankers' acceptances. (100 basis points equals 1%.)

One one-hundredth of one percent. One hundred basis points equal one percent.
