Padding

After doing the maths, the padding is not actually 5% of the max-width on each side. Am I missing something? Thanks :)

Sure, it's going to be 5% of the width of the browser window.

So for instance, my browser body is 1277 px. My inspector shows I have a padding of 63.844px.

1277 * 0.05 = 63.85

Which would be correct.
