Type the marks you got and the total for each subject. Get your overall percentage and grade instantly, plus how many marks you need for the next grade.
Your marks are saved in this browser only. Nothing is sent to our servers.
Percentage = (marks obtained ÷ total marks) × 100. For several subjects, add up all marks obtained and all total marks first, then divide.
This free marks to percentage calculator turns your raw exam marks into a percentage and a letter grade in one step. Add every subject from your result card, pick your grading system, and see your overall percentage, the grade it earns, your strongest and weakest subjects, and exactly how many more marks would lift you to the next grade.
How to use the marks calculator
- Choose your grading system. US letter grades, Pakistan board grades (Matric and Intermediate), India CBSE grades, or UK university degree classes.
- Enter each subject. Type the marks you obtained and the total marks for that paper. Totals can differ between subjects, for example 75 for a practical and 100 for a theory paper.
- Read your result. Each row shows that subject’s percentage and grade. The purple panel shows your overall percentage and grade.
- Check the gap. The note under your result tells you how many more marks you would need, in total, to reach the next grade band.
The percentage formula
Percentage = (marks obtained ÷ total marks) × 100
For one paper: 42 out of 50 is 42 ÷ 50 × 100 = 84%.
For several subjects, the correct method is to add everything up first:
Overall percentage = (sum of marks obtained ÷ sum of total marks) × 100
This is not always the same as averaging each subject’s percentage. If one paper is out of 50 and another out of 100, the 100-mark paper carries twice the weight. Adding marks first gives each paper the weight your school intended. If every subject has the same total, both methods give the same answer.
Worked example
| Subject | Obtained | Total | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| English | 78 | 100 | 78% |
| Mathematics | 92 | 100 | 92% |
| Physics | 81 | 100 | 81% |
| Chemistry | 74 | 100 | 74% |
| Biology | 69 | 100 | 69% |
| Total | 394 | 500 | 78.8% |
394 ÷ 500 × 100 = 78.8%. On the US scale that is a C+, on Pakistan board grading an A, on CBSE a B1, and in UK degree terms a First. Six more marks overall (400 out of 500, or 80%) would move this student up to a B- in the US or an A+ on Pakistan board grading.
Percentage to grade charts
US letter grades
| Percentage | Grade | Percentage | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 97–100 | A+ | 77–79 | C+ |
| 93–96 | A | 73–76 | C |
| 90–92 | A- | 70–72 | C- |
| 87–89 | B+ | 67–69 | D+ |
| 83–86 | B | 63–66 / 60–62 | D / D- |
| 80–82 | B- | Below 60 | F |
Pakistan boards (Matric and Intermediate)
A+ is 80% and above, A is 70–79%, B is 60–69%, C is 50–59%, D is 40–49% and E is 33–39%. Below 33% is a fail. Some boards label bands slightly differently, so check the grading key printed on your result card.
India CBSE
CBSE awards A1 (91–100), A2 (81–90), B1 (71–80), B2 (61–70), C1 (51–60), C2 (41–50) and D (33–40). E means below 33, the minimum pass mark. CBSE has at times set grade bands by rank among all candidates rather than by fixed marks, so treat these bands as the common percentage guide.
UK university degree classes
A First is 70% and above, an upper second (2:1) is 60–69%, a lower second (2:2) is 50–59% and a Third is 40–49%. Below 40% is usually a fail. Most UK universities calculate the final class from a weighted average of second- and final-year modules.
Internal marks and weighted papers
Many courses combine several parts, such as a written paper, a practical and internal assessment. If each part is simply added to a total (for example 70 theory + 30 practical = 100), enter them as separate rows and the calculator adds them for you. If your school applies weights instead, such as coursework worth 40% of the final mark whatever its raw total, convert each part first: multiply the part’s percentage by its weight, then add the results. For example, 80% coursework × 0.4 plus 65% exam × 0.6 gives 32 + 39 = 71%.
Tips for a higher percentage
- Look at the lowest subject first. Raising a weak paper from 60% to 70% adds the same marks as raising a strong one from 85% to 95%, and is usually much easier.
- Know the weighting. Papers with larger totals move your overall percentage more. Practicals and coursework can be the cheapest marks to gain.
- Practise past papers under time. Examiners reward structure and complete answers. Our Pomodoro timer and exam countdown helps you plan revision.
Marks to percentage tables (quick lookup)
Find your percentage without typing anything. Look up your marks in the table for your total. For example, 394 out of 500 is 78.8%, 950 out of 1100 is 86.36% and 1020 out of 1200 is 85%. For any other total, use the calculator above.

Percentages are rounded to two decimal places. Formula: marks obtained ÷ total marks × 100.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate the percentage of my marks?
Divide the marks you obtained by the total marks and multiply by 100. For 356 out of 425, that is 356 ÷ 425 × 100 = 83.76%.
How do I calculate percentage for multiple subjects?
Add the marks obtained in every subject, add the total marks of every subject, then divide the first sum by the second and multiply by 100. This calculator does that automatically.
Should I round my percentage?
Keep at least two decimal places while calculating. Many schools round to the nearest whole number only on the final certificate, and some never round up. If a grade boundary matters, check your institution’s rounding rule.
What is the pass percentage?
It depends on the system: 33% for Pakistan boards and CBSE, usually 40% for UK universities, and 60% (D-) for most US schools. Many universities set a higher pass mark for individual modules.
How do I convert percentage to GPA?
There is no universal formula. On a US 4.0 scale, 90%+ is roughly 4.0, 80–89% about 3.0, 70–79% about 2.0 and 60–69% about 1.0. For your actual GPA from letter grades, use the GPA & CGPA calculator.
What if my paper has negative marking?
Enter your final marks after deductions. The percentage formula is the same once negative marks have been applied.
What is the difference between percentage and percentile?
Percentage shows how many marks you scored out of the total. Percentile shows how you ranked against other candidates. A 90th percentile means you did better than 90% of test takers, whatever your raw percentage.
