How percent to rem conversion works

Percentages are relative to a parent or reference size. Rem is relative to the root font size. This tool converts percent to pixels using your reference size, then divides by the base (root) font size to get rem.

Formula: (percent ÷ 100) × reference size = pixels; pixels ÷ base font size = rem.

When to use rem

  • Sizing that should scale with the root element
  • Avoiding compounding when nesting font sizes
  • Accessible layouts that respect user font preferences
