Permille calculator
Complete the row that represents your percentage problem.A permille (also spelled *per mil*, *per mill*, or *promille*) is a unit of measure that represents one part per thousand (1/1000 or 0.001). It is denoted by the symbol ‰ (similar to how a percent (%) represents 1/100).
Key Uses of Permille (‰):
1. Alcohol in Blood
- Example: A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.5 ‰ means 0.5 grams of alcohol per liter of blood.
2. Slopes (Engineering/Transport)
- Example: A train track with a 10 ‰ slope rises 10 meters per kilometer (or 1 cm per meter).
3. Demographics & Statistics
- Example: A birth rate of 12 ‰ means 12 births per 1,000 people in a population.
How to Calculate Permille?
Permille (‰) = PartWhole × 1000
Calculation examples:
1. Blood alcohol (e.g. 0.5 ‰):
- If a person has 0.5 grams of alcohol per 1 liter of blood in their blood, this means:
0.5 g/l = 0.5 ‰
*(Because 1 per mille = 1 gram of alcohol per liter of blood.)*
2. Track gradient (e.g. 10 ‰):
- If the train climbs 10 mm per 1 meter of track, then:
10 mm1000 mm × 1000 = 10 ‰
3. Statistics (e.g. 3 ‰ unemployed):
- If a country has 3 unemployed people out of 1000 people, then:
31000 × 1000 = 3 ‰
How to convert between per mille and percentages?
- 1 % = 10 ‰ (because 1% = 1/100, 1‰ = 1/1000)
Example:
- 5 % = 50 ‰
- 20 ‰ = 2 %
Where is per mille used?
- Blood alcohol (0.5 ‰ = driving limit in many countries).
- Transport: Road/track gradient.
- Statistics: E.g. birth rate, death rate per 1000 population.
