Calculate your marks percentage
Results day, college admissions, scholarship forms — they all ask for your percentage. Thismarks percentage calculator takes the marks you scored in each subject and instantly gives your overall percentage, the best-of-five percentage many boards and colleges use, your division and a subject-by-subject breakdown so you can see your strongest and weakest areas.
How to use it
- Type each subject's name, the marks you got and the maximum marks (usually 100).
- Use + Add subject for more subjects, or ✕ to remove one.
- Tick Best of 5 to count only your five highest-scoring subjects.
Percentage formula
Percentage = (Total marks obtained ÷ Total maximum marks) × 100
Example
Marks of 82, 74, 91, 88 and 79 out of 100 in five subjects add up to 414 out of 500. The percentage is 414 ÷ 500 × 100 = 82.8% — a distinction in most boards. If a sixth subject (say IT, 95/100) were added and best-of-five applied, Hindi (74) would be dropped and the percentage would rise to (82 + 91 + 88 + 79 + 95) ÷ 5 = 87%.
