If you recorded 274.15 K instead of the real temperature of 273.15 K, the percentage error would be 100*1/273.15 = 0.366% (approx).
In Celsius, the percentage calculation would be 100*1/0 = undefined!
Percentage changes SHOULD be used only for absolute scales, that is, scales of measurement where 2 units is twice as much as 1 unit. The thermal energy of a body at 2 K is double its value at 1 K. This is not the case with the Celsius or Fahrenheit scales.

Why does the percent error calculation have to be performed in celsius rather than kelvin?
That is just utter nonsense. Kelvin is the absolute scale so percentages should be calculated in Kelvin and not Celsius.
What is -95 degrees celsius in kelvin?
Kelvin is the SI unit for temperature. Celsius is usually used in metric systems. 0 degree celsius is 273.15 Kelvin. Kelvin increases equally with celsius. So to convert celsius to kelvin, we just add 273.15 to celsius. The answer in Kelvin is 273.15To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, you add 273.15.
How do you Convert 245 degree Celsius into Kelvin?
To convert 245 degrees Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature. In this case, 245 degrees Celsius is equal to 518.15 Kelvin.
What is 24 degrees Celsius in Kelvin?
Kelvin is the SI unit for temperature. Celsius is usually used in metric systems. 0 degree celsius is 273.15 Kelvin. Kelvin increases equally with celsius. So to convert celsius to kelvin, we just add 273.15 to celsius. The answer in Kelvin is 297.15
What does 80 degrees Celsius equal in Kelvin?
Kelvin is the SI unit for temperature. Celsius is usually used in metric systems. 0 degree celsius is 273.15 Kelvin. Kelvin increases equally with celsius. So to convert celsius to kelvin, we just add 273.15 to celsius. The answer in Kelvin is 353.15
