1. What is Risk Percentage?

Risk Percentage is a way to express probability as a percentage value between 0% and 100%. It converts a probability (0-1) to a more intuitive percentage scale that's easier to understand and communicate.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• Probability — A value between 0 and 1 representing the likelihood of an event
• 100 — The conversion factor to percentage

Explanation: Multiplying a probability by 100 converts it from a decimal fraction to a percentage, which is often more meaningful for risk communication.

3. Importance of Risk Percentage

Details: Risk percentages are widely used in medicine, finance, engineering, and statistics to communicate the likelihood of events in a format that's easily comparable and understandable.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter any probability value between 0 and 1. The calculator will instantly convert it to a percentage between 0% and 100%.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the difference between probability and risk percentage?
A: Probability is expressed as a decimal between 0 and 1, while risk percentage is the same value multiplied by 100 and shown with a percent sign.

Q2: Can risk percentage exceed 100%?
A: No, since probability can't exceed 1, risk percentage can't exceed 100%. Values above 100% would indicate an error in calculation.

Q3: When should I use risk percentage vs probability?
A: Use risk percentage when communicating with general audiences, and probability when doing mathematical calculations.

Q4: How precise should risk percentages be?
A: For most practical purposes, whole percentages are sufficient. The calculator shows 2 decimal places for precision when needed.

Q5: Can I convert percentages back to probabilities?
A: Yes, simply divide the percentage by 100 (e.g., 25% = 0.25 probability).
