How is marks percentage calculated?
Add up the marks you scored and the maximum marks for the subjects that count, then divide.
Percentage = total marks scored ÷ total maximum marks × 100
Best of 5: only the 5 highest-scoring subjects are counted
Best of five
CBSE calculates the class 10 and 12 percentage from the best five subjects, which usually means your main language plus your four best other subjects. Choose 'Best 5' to see that figure; check your board's exact rule for which subjects can be included.
Different maximum marks
If subjects have different maximums (like 80 for theory plus 20 internal, or a 50-mark subject), enter each subject's own maximum. The calculator uses total marks, not the average of percentages.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate percentage for 5 subjects out of 500?
Add your marks in all five, divide by 500 and multiply by 100. 420 out of 500 is 84%.
Is percentage the same as the average of subject percentages?
Only when every subject has the same maximum marks. Otherwise use total marks ÷ total maximum, as this calculator does.
What percentage is a first division?
Commonly 60% and above is first division, 45–59% second and 33–44% third (pass), but each board and university sets its own divisions.
