How to Convert Decimal to Percent

Converting a decimal to percentage is straightforward. You multiply the decimal by 100 and add the percent symbol (%).

Formula: Decimal × 100 = Percent

Example 1: Convert 0.6 to a percent

  • 0.6 × 100 = 60%

Example 2: Convert 0.125 to a percent

  • 0.125 × 100 = 12.5%

The process works because percentages represent parts per hundred, so multiplying by 100 shifts the decimal point two places to the right.

The Formula: Decimal × 100 = Percent

This decimal to percentage formula works because “percent” literally means “per 100.” When you multiply a decimal by 100, you’re expressing that decimal as a number out of 100 parts.

For example, 0.25 means 25 parts out of 100, which equals 25%.
