Grade Calculator

Convert marks into a percentage and determine the corresponding letter grade using your selected grading scale.

What does a grade calculator do?

A grade calculator converts the marks you earned into a percentage and then matches that percentage against the boundaries of a selected grading system.

For example, if you score 75 marks out of 100, your percentage is 75%. The letter grade depends on the grading scale being used by your school or institution.

IMPORTANT
Grading boundaries vary between schools, institutions, examination bodies and countries. Always check your institution's official grading policy when an official grade is required.

Grading Scale

The scale below is the one currently selected in the calculator.

PLEASE NOTE
This calculator provides a general interpretation based on the selected scale. Your school, university, examination body or other institution may use different grade boundaries.
Example

Worked Grade Calculation

Suppose a student scores 75 marks out of a possible 100 marks.

STEP 1 โ€” SUBSTITUTE THE VALUES
Percentage = (75 รท 100) ร— 100
STEP 2 โ€” CALCULATE
Percentage = 75%

The student's percentage is therefore 75%. The letter grade depends on the grading scale being applied. Under the Nigerian school scale provided in this calculator, 75% falls within the A range.

Understanding Your Percentage

A percentage expresses your score as a proportion of the total marks available. This makes it easier to compare results from assessments that have different maximum scores.

For example, scoring 45 out of 50 and scoring 90 out of 100 represent the same percentage: 90%.

The percentage calculation itself is straightforward, but the letter grade assigned to that percentage depends on the grading scale used by the relevant institution.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Divide the marks obtained by the total possible marks and multiply the result by 100.

Percentage = (Marks Obtained รท Total Marks) ร— 100

It depends on the grading system.

Under the Nigerian school grading scale used in this calculator, 75% falls within the A range.

Under the standard A-F scale provided here, 75% falls within the C range.

This illustrates why you should check the official grading scale used by your institution.

Yes.

The calculator works with any positive total number of marks.

For example, if you score 42 out of 50:

(42 รท 50) ร— 100 = 84%

Your percentage is therefore 84%.

The Nigerian school scale provided in this calculator uses:

A = 70โ€“100%
B = 60โ€“69%
C = 50โ€“59%
D = 45โ€“49%
E = 40โ€“44%
F = 0โ€“39%

However, grading policies can differ between institutions and examination systems. Use your institution's official scale when an official classification is required.

No.

This tool calculates the percentage and corresponding letter grade for a single marks-versus-total calculation.

GPA and CGPA calculations normally require additional information such as course credits, grade points and multiple courses.

You can use it to calculate the percentage represented by a score.

However, universities may use their own grade boundaries, weighting systems, GPA scales or course-specific rules. Check the institution's official grading policy before using the result for academic decisions.
