|---|---|
| 0.5 | 0.05 |
| 1 | 0.10 |
| 1.5 | 0.15 |
| 2 | 0.20 |
| 2.5 | 0.25 |
| 3 | 0.30 |

| 20 | 2.00 |
| 25 | 2.50 |
| 30 | 3.00 |
| 50 | 5.00 |
| 75 | 7.50 |
| 100 | 10.00 |

What Does “Mill Rate to Percentage” Mean?
A mill rate, also known as millage rate, is a tax rate used to calculate property taxes in many areas. It is expressed in mills, where one mill is equal to one-tenth of a cent or $1 per $1,000 of taxable assessed value. To convert a mill rate to a percentage, you simply divide the mill rate by 10. For example, if the mill rate is 20, the equivalent tax rate would be 2 percent.
