Does this answer your question? Based on Elo rating, what percentile am I in? Specifically, this answer. – SecretAgentMan Jun 23 '22 at 22:45

According to this question on quora.com, there are ~486,000 players as of January 2015. (They reference a FIDE rating list here.) Not an exact number, but most likely close enough for percentile purposes.
If you're not sure how to calculate a percentile rating, I found this question, which gives the following formula:
R = P / 100 (N + 1)
... where R represents the rank order of the score, P represents the percentile rank, and N represents the number of scores.

Thanks. Seems like there is half million people on the FIDE list. If I am around 50.000, that means I am around 90%, inside the top 10%. – Danijel Sep 22 '16 at 16:08
