When it misleads you

How it is calculated

Per mille is one part per thousand of a whole (denoted ‰), percent is one part per hundred (denoted %). Since a thousandth is ten times smaller than a hundredth, converting per mille to percent is dividing by 10.

The entered value in per mille is multiplied by 0.1 (equivalent to dividing by 10) to get percent.

The reverse ratio — 10 per mille in one percent — is shown in a separate row to quickly check the conversion direction.

In medicine and law for blood alcohol concentration, in chemistry for water salinity, and in metrology for measurement instrument precision and tolerances.

Is 5 per mille a lot or a little?

5 ‰ equals 0.5 % — compare it against your task's context: for blood alcohol concentration that's a very high value, for instrument precision it's usually an acceptable amount.
