Spanish term or phrase: en tanto por uno
I know that there is a Kudoz entry for this, but I don't understand it. :S

Can anyone help me put it into the following context, please?

"En el caso de que se hubiese pactado la liquidación de intereses por periodos de duración igual o inferior a un año, el importe de los intereses resultará de la aplicación de la fórmula I= C * R *(N/365), siendo R el tipo de interés de cancelación anticipada indicado en las Condiciones Particulares, expresado como tipo nominal anual en tanto por uno."

Many thanks

El tanto por ciento representa una cierta cantidad con respecto a 100. Si en lugar de tomar como referencia 100, se toma la unidad 1, se llama tanto por uno.

Si se divide un tanto por ciento entre 100 dará el tanto por uno correspondiente.

Si t es un tanto por ciento, t/100 es el tanto por uno correspondiente

Por ejemplo, si de cada 100 unidades se consideran 35, de una unidad se considerará 35/100 = 0,35.

0,35 es el tanto por uno correspondiente al 35 %.

If Percent = 6 (6%)

'per one' = 'Percent'/100 = 0.006

in basis points


Explanation:
A basis point (often denoted as bp, colloquially referred to in the plural as "bips") is a unit equal to 1/100 of a percentage point[1][2] or one part per ten thousand. The same unit is also (rarely) called a permyriad (literally meaning 'for (every) ten thousand'), and in that context is written with the sign ‱ (Unicode U+2031[3], Numeric character reference ‱), which looks like a percent sign (%) with two extra zeroes at the end (like a stylized form of the four zeros in the denominator, although it originates as a natural extension of the percent (%) and permille (‰) signs).

A basis point is defined as:

1 basis point = 1 permyriad = one one-hundredth percent
1 bp = 1‱ = 0.01% = 0.1‰ = 10−4 = 1⁄10000 = 0.0001
1% = 100 bp = 100‱

It is frequently, but not exclusively, used to express differences in interest rates of less than 1% per year. For example, a difference of 0.10% is equivalent to a change of 10 basis points (e.g. a 4.67% rate increases by 10 basis points to 4.77%).

Like percentage points, basis points avoid the ambiguity between relative and absolute discussions about interest rates by dealing only with the absolute change in numeric value of a rate. For example, if a report says there has been a "1% increase" from a 10% interest rate, this could refer to an increase either from 10% to 10.1% (relative, 1% of 10%), or from 10% to 11% (absolute, 1% plus 10%). If, however, the report says there has been a "10 basis point increase" from a 10% interest rate, then we know that the interest rate of 10% has increased by 0.10% (the absolute change) to a 10.1% rate.

It is common practice in the financial industry to use basis points to denote a rate change in a financial instrument, or the difference (spread) between two interest rates, including the yields of fixed-income securities.

Since certain loans and bonds may commonly be quoted in relation to some index or underlying security, they will often be quoted as a spread over (or under) the index. For example, a loan that bears interest of 0.50% per annum above the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is said to be 50 basis points over LIBOR, which is commonly expressed as "L+50bps" or simply "L+50".

Example sentence(s):
  • a 4.67% rate increases by 10 basis points to 4.77%
