What's the difference between a percentage and a percentage point?
A percentage measures a proportion of a whole. A percentage point measures the absolute difference between two percentages. If a tax rate moves from 5% to 7%, that's a 2 percentage point absolute change but a 40% relative increase. UK news often confuses the two when reporting Bank of England rate moves.
