How to use the Grade Calculator

Enter marks obtained and total marks to calculate a percentage. You may also display an example letter grade using the clearly stated built-in scale.

Formula / calculation logic

Percentage = Marks obtained ÷ Total marks × 100.

Worked example

42 out of 50 equals 84%. Under the optional example scale, that corresponds to B.

Important notes

Letter-grade boundaries are not universal. Treat the built-in scale as an example unless it matches your institution.

Frequently asked questions

Can marks obtained exceed total marks?

No. The calculator rejects that as inconsistent input.

Is the letter grade official?

No. Use your school’s published grading scale for official results.
