Board Percentage Calculator
Calculate your board exam percentage from marks in each subject, with any maximum marks.
Percentage = total obtained ÷ total maximum × 100. Works for any board — CBSE, ICSE, or state boards with different maximum marks per subject.
Calculating a Board Percentage Correctly
The formula is simple — total obtained ÷ total maximum × 100 — but real marksheets complicate it: subjects with 100, 80+20, or 70+30 splits, additional subjects, and board-specific counting rules. This calculator accepts a different maximum per subject, so mixed totals compute correctly.
Board Counting Rules at a Glance
- CBSE: five main subjects; the sixth (additional) can replace a failed main subject.
- ICSE: percentage commonly quoted as Best of 5 including English.
- State boards: most count all subjects; a few exclude languages — check your board's rule.
