It is commonly though to be 98%.
However, recent studies have differing views. The BBC has published 95%, and Riken (a Japanese Lab) has published 85%. Please see the related links for the articles.
You can see that chimps are related to humans from DNA. We share about 98% of the nucleotides with chimps. The ERV's between chimps and humans are reverse transcripted into both creatures in the same spots and that is not plausible by anything but a relationship with them. The Chromosomes are identical except for chromosome #2 in humans and that shows a fusion of two chromosomes from our ancestors. Chimps along with all of our primate cousins are going extinct. Like in comparative morphology, comparative genomics shows that in the nested hierarchies, chimps have the most homologies and the fewest differences in a nucleotide by nucleotide comparison of the genome.

Humans share about 98-99% of their DNA with primates, such as chimpanzees and gorillas. Despite this high level of genetic similarity, the remaining 1-2% of genetic differences has contributed to the unique features and capabilities that distinguish humans from other primates.
Depending on who is telling the story, chimps have close to 100% similarity in their DNA to our DNA (human beings). Some scientists believe it's 97% similar while others believe it is 99% similar. Because chimps have very similar DNA (the most similar of all the animals), they are the closest mammals to the human beings.
Humans and chimpanzees share about 98% of the same DNA. So, you would share roughly the same amount of DNA with Bonzo, the chimp co-star of Ronald Reagan.
After observing chimps, Goodall began to recognize common behaviors that signaled specific events, leading her to understant that chimps use a language of their own to communicate.
Oh, dude, orangutans and chimps are both primates, but chimps are actually closer to humans genetically. Like, we share about 98% of our DNA with chimps, while orangutans are a bit further away on the family tree. So, if you're looking for a closer cousin, it's the chimp, man.
Humans share about 85 of their DNA with mice.
Gorillas share about 98 of their DNA with humans.
Humans share approximately 98 of their DNA with gorillas.
You share about 50 of your DNA with each of your biological parents.
I have heard several figures, but the most believable I've heard was 75% of our DNA being the same as that of a dog even though they have 78 chromosomes while we have 46. We share 50% of our DNA with bananas, same for fruit flies. 97% of our DNA is shared with Chimps.
Humans share about 1-2 of their DNA with bacteria.
humans are more closely related to chimps they share 99% of the same dna and us
Humans share approximately 98-99 of their DNA with apes.
Humans share approximately 98-99 of their DNA with monkeys.
