13px 0.8125em 81.25%

14px 0.8750em 87.50%

15px 0.9375em 93.75%

16px 1.0000em 100.00%

17px 1.0625em 106.25%

18px 1.1250em 112.50%

19px 1.1875em 118.75%

20px 1.2500em 125.00%

21px 1.3125em 131.25%

22px 1.3750em 137.50%

23px 1.4375em 143.75%

24px 1.5000em 150.00%

25px 1.5625em 156.25%

What is the difference between PX, EM and Percent?

Pixel is a static measurement, while percent and EM are relative measurements. The size of an
EM or percent depends on its parent. If the text size of body is 16 pixels, then 150% or 1.5 EM will
be 24 pixels (1.5 * 16). Look at CSS Units (/cssref/css_units.asp) for more measurement units.
