What percentile is a 2,400 chess rating?
Here is where 2,400 sits in all eleven pools this site measures — both online platforms, every time control, and FIDE’s own rating list.

The Chess.com rows are derived rather than counted: Chess.com publishes no rating distribution, so its curve is the Lichess population mapped through the measured conversion between the two. Percentiles from it are rounded to the nearest 5 and stop at "top 5% or better". The Lichess and FIDE rows are counted from published data.
What 2,400 actually means
2,400 is the International Master rating requirement, and it is the top of this list for a reason. Above it the derived Chess.com curve has nothing left to say — every rating from here up reads as "top 5% or better" on that grid, which is true and useless. On this page it is the FIDE and Lichess rows that are worth reading.
