How to use this tool
- Enter the subject name, marks obtained, and maximum marks for each subject or paper.
- Check the row percentage after entering both marks fields. This helps catch typing mistakes before you calculate the final report.
- Add separate rows for theory, practical, sessional, assignment, or lab work if your result treats them separately.
- Click Calculate after all rows are correct. The report shows total obtained marks, total maximum marks, overall percentage, and subject-wise rows.
- Download the PDF only after checking that no subject has wrong total marks, because a wrong maximum can change the final percentage.
How percentage is calculated
The subject percentage is marks obtained divided by maximum marks, multiplied by 100. The overall percentage is total obtained marks divided by total maximum marks, multiplied by 100. This weighted method is useful when subjects have different maximum marks.
For example, if one paper is out of 100 and another practical is out of 50, both should not be averaged as simple subject percentages unless your institution specifically asks for that. Adding obtained marks and maximum marks first gives a fairer overall percentage for mixed totals.
When it helps
Students can use this calculator for school exams, internal assessments, semester marks, practical marks, assignment scores, unit tests, scholarship forms, admission forms, or any result where obtained marks and maximum marks are known. It is also useful when a mark sheet has several components and you want one clean percentage report.
The row-wise percentage is intentionally shown before the final report. This small feedback helps students notice mistakes early, such as entering 86 out of 10 instead of 86 out of 100, or accidentally typing total marks lower than obtained marks.
Read this before relying on it
This calculator does not apply grace marks, best-of-five rules, subject exclusion rules, normalization, percentile conversion, grade conversion, or board-specific moderation. If your school, board, university, or exam body uses any special rule, apply that official rule separately.
The PDF is a clean personal report for checking and sharing your calculation. It is not an official mark sheet. If you are filling an admission form or scholarship form, match the percentage with the format requested in the official instructions.
Privacy and saved data
This tool works in your browser. Subject names, obtained marks, and total marks may be saved in localStorage so the form can remain filled when you return from the same browser. The tool does not need an account or database.
The marks entered here are not uploaded by this tool. If you are using a shared computer, clear saved data after use. If you clear browser storage or use private browsing, saved rows may disappear.
Marks percentage FAQ
Is overall percentage the average of subject percentages?
No. This tool adds all obtained marks and all maximum marks first, then calculates percentage. That is better when subjects have different maximum marks.
Can I use it for practical and theory marks together?
Yes. Add each component as a separate row if you want a transparent calculation. Use the same grouping your institution expects.
Does the tool apply best-of-five or grace marks?
No. It calculates only from the rows you enter. Special rules should be applied according to your official board or college instructions.
Can I download a PDF report?
Yes. After calculation, use Download PDF to save a simple report with overall percentage and subject-wise details.
Are my marks uploaded?
No. Marks are processed in the browser. Saved rows use localStorage on your device.
