EM to PERCENT Converter

Use this free online em to percent converter tool to convert parent-relative em units to percentage values. Percentages are relative units that scale based on parent properties. This converter provides a direct relationship since em is inherently percentage-based.

To convert em to percentage, multiply the em value by 100. This works because em and percentage share the same parent-relative scaling behavior for font-size. For other properties, the relationship may differ based on context.

Conversion Formula

percent = em × 100

For example, to convert 1em to percentage, calculate 1 × 100 = 100%. Similarly, 1.5em equals 150% because 1.5 × 100 = 150.

What is EM?

EM is a relative CSS unit that scales based on the parent element's font size, making it highly context-dependent. By default, 1em equals the parent element's font-size value, creating a cascading effect through nested elements. While EM offers flexibility for component-level scaling, its cascading nature can make it unpredictable compared to REM in complex layouts.

What is %?

Percentage (%) is a relative CSS unit that scales based on the parent element's corresponding property value. For example, width: 50% means 50% of the parent's width, while font-size: 150% means 150% of the parent's font-size. Percentages are fundamental for creating flexible, responsive layouts that adapt to their containers.
