Marks & Percentage Converter
Turn your percentage into marks for an exam, or your marks into a percentage.
Use the right exam total
Pick the direction
Percentage to marks, or marks to percentage. The maximum marks field is the same for both.
Match the totals
Pair a subject percentage with that subject's maximum, or an overall percentage with the overall maximum. Mixing them changes the answer.
Read the result
Marks are your percentage × the maximum ÷ 100. A decimal answer is valid.
An example
78% in an exam with 500 maximum marks.
390 out of 500
78 × 500 ÷ 100 = 390
Common questions
Why is my answer a decimal?
The calculation can give a decimal. If your percentage was already rounded, the marks are approximate, and the tool can't recover the missing precision.
Can I use a subject percentage with the overall total?
No. Both numbers must cover the same assessment, or the result won't match your marksheet.
