Rate Per 1000 Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Rate Per 1000 (\(RPO\)):

\[ RPO = \frac{E}{P} \times 1000 \]

Where:

\(RPO\) is the rate per one thousand
\(E\) is the number of events/occurrences/etc from the total quantity
\(P\) is the total quantity

What is Rate Per 1000?

A rate per 1000 is typically used to describe the total number of events or cases in a population per 1000 people. This can be applied to any data set of numbers, like the rate of defects per 1000 manufactured goods and so on.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Number of Events (\(E\)) = 50
Total Quantity (\(P\)) = 2000

Using the formula:

\[ RPO = \frac{50}{2000} \times 1000 = 25 \]

The Rate Per 1000 is 25.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Number of Events (\(E\)) = 100
Total Quantity (\(P\)) = 5000

Using the formula:

\[ RPO = \frac{100}{5000} \times 1000 = 20 \]

The Rate Per 1000 is 20.
