A percentage shows how much of the total you obtained, expressed out of 100. Enter the marks you scored and the total marks available for a single exam, or add several subjects to see your overall percentage across all of them.
How This Calculator Works
Percentage = marks obtained / total marks x 100. For example, 432 out of 600 gives 432 / 600 x 100 = 72%. For several subjects, the calculator adds all marks obtained and all total marks, then applies the same formula to the combined totals. Use the quick buttons next to the total marks field to fill in common totals such as 100, 500, 600 or 1100.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my percentage from marks?
Divide the marks you obtained by the total marks, then multiply by 100. For example, 432 out of 600 is 72%.
Is an overall percentage the same as the average of subject percentages?
Not always. This calculator adds all marks and all totals before dividing, so subjects with larger totals carry more weight. Some institutions average the subject percentages instead, so check their method.
Can my marks be more than the total marks?
No. Marks obtained must be between 0 and the total marks, and the calculator will show a message if the values do not fit.
