> But 0.01% of one million is ten thousand

1,000,000 USD * (0.01 / 100) = 100 USD, not 10,000 USD. The company would have to be worth 100M USD for 0.01% to be worth 10,000 USD.

Indeed ;-) But don't worry, many a great engineer has made worse mistakes when it comes to shifting the decimal point.

Ah damn, you see, that's how incapable I am with maths :D I just calculated one million * 0.01 and thought that'll be it. Thanks for correcting me, seems like 0.01 isn't that much after all.

Fortunately my job does not require math skills, so at least I am no danger to society :D
