Understanding Marks Percentage Calculator
Marks percentage combines subject results by their actual maximum marks. This matters when an exam includes papers with different totals: a subject marked out of one hundred contributes twice as much available credit as one marked out of fifty. Add a row for every included subject, enter earned marks and the corresponding maximum, then check that no paper has been counted twice. The tool adds all earned marks and divides them by all available marks. It does not average individual subject percentages, because that would give every subject equal weight even when their maximum marks differ. An earned mark of zero is valid; a maximum mark of zero is not. Use only the subjects included by your board or institution in its aggregate. Optional papers, practical examinations and best-of rules can change that set. If a result includes bonus marks, consult the official calculation policy before entering a value above a paper's normal maximum.
This aggregate is based on marks, not university credit weights. Use the GPA or weighted grade tool when your institution uses credits or specified assessment weights.
Formula
Percentage = sum(obtained marks) ÷ sum(maximum marks) × 100
Worked example
80/100 and 40/50 combine to 120/150 = 80%.
