In terms of weight, iron makes up approximately 5% of the earths crust, the fourth most abundant element in the crust.
However, remember Earth's Core is nearly all Iron.

The principle element found at the Earth's core is iron.

About 7% of the earths crust
The percentage of Earth's crust is less than one percentage in terms of Earth's volume. The Earth's crust is actually a thin layer.
its the percentage in mass !
other orbiting bodies contain more iron than earths crust does
6%
Earths under crust surrounded by Upper Mantle (35-60 km) .The mantle is composed of sillicate rocks that are rich in iron and magnesium relative to the overlying crust.
With a very sizable iron core and a (by comparison) wafer-thin crust, I doubt that the earth's crust even approximates a full percentage point.
5.4%
