Last Updated : 13 Jun, 2023

Padding is the space between its content and its border. The padding-right property in CSS is used to set the width of the padding area on the right of an element.

Syntax:

padding-right: length | percentage | initial | inherit;

Property values:

length: This mode is used to specify the size of padding as a fixed value. The default value is 0. It must be non-negative.
percentage: This mode is used to set the right padding in percent of the width of the element. It must be non-negative.
initial: This property is used to set the default value.

Example: In this example, we are using padding-right: length; property.
