Per Mille Sign Symbol Meaning

The per mille sign ‰ represents “per thousand” (parts per 1,000). It is used to show rates and concentrations that are better expressed relative to 1,000 units rather than 100% or per 100. For example, it may appear in statistics (e.g., birth/death rates in per-thousand terms), measurements (certain concentrations or salinity notations), and technical documentation. In practice, treat it as a punctuation mark used alongside numbers, much like percent (%), but scaled to 1,000.

Common uses

  • Writing rates in per-thousand form (e.g., X‰ per year) in reports
  • Indicating concentration or level expressed as parts per 1,000 in lab and measurement contexts
  • Labeling chart axes or data tables where values are normalized per 1,000 units
  • Using in technical or statistical documents to distinguish from percent (%)
  • Formatting scientific and business documents that require standardized rate notation
