Cut-Off Calculator

--

How this cut-off calculator works

Enter the marks you obtained and the total marks for that paper. The calculator divides your marks by the total and multiplies by 100. Percentage = (marks obtained ÷ total marks) × 100.

The result is fixed at two decimal places, so 180 out of 200 appears as 90.00% and 87.5 out of 100 appears as 87.50%. A repeating fraction is rounded at the second decimal: 2 out of 3 is 66.666…%, shown as 66.67%, and 1 out of 3 is 33.33%.

Use the percentage beside a published cut-off. If a course asks for 80% and the paper is out of 150, the marks that match that cut-off are 0.80 × 150 = 120. Entering 120 and 150 returns 80.00%. The page itself asks for marks and a total, and it prints the percentage.

Both fields must be filled, and the total must be greater than 0. Zero marks are allowed and return 0.00%. Marks above the total are not capped, so 110 out of 100 is 110.00%. An empty field, a total of 0, or a negative total leaves the result as --. This is one score divided by one total. It does not apply separate weights for individual subjects, and it does not look up a college’s cut-off list.

Cut-off percentage examples

Each percentage is marks divided by the total, times 100, shown to two decimal places.

How to read the result

  • Divide, then × 100

    75 out of 100 is 75.00%. 350 out of 500 is 70.00%.

  • Two decimal places

    199 out of 200 is 99.50%. The trailing zeros stay on the result.

  • Marks for a cut-off

    Required marks = cut-off percentage × total ÷ 100.

  • One paper total

    Enter the score and the maximum for that score. Subject weights are not applied.

Frequently asked questions

  • How does this cut-off calculator work?

    Percentage = (marks obtained ÷ total marks) × 100. The result is always shown to two decimal places. 180 marks out of 200 is (180 ÷ 200) × 100 = 90.00%.

  • How do I compare my score with a published cut-off?

    Enter the marks you scored and the maximum for that paper. If a college cut-off is 80% and your result is 80.00% or higher, your percentage meets that cut-off. 120 out of 150 is 80.00%.

  • How many marks equal a given cut-off percentage?

    Multiply the cut-off percentage by the total, then divide by 100. A 90% cut-off on a paper of 200 is 0.90 × 200 = 180 marks. Entering 180 and 200 returns 90.00% on this page.

  • Why does 2 marks out of 3 show as 66.67%?

    (2 ÷ 3) × 100 = 66.666…, and the page rounds to two decimal places, so it shows 66.67%. One mark out of 3 is 33.33%.

  • What if I score the full total, or zero?

    Full marks return 100.00%. 200 out of 200 is 100.00%. Zero marks out of a positive total return 0.00%. An empty field shows --.

  • What if my marks are higher than the total?

    The formula still divides. 110 out of 100 is 110.00%. The calculator does not cap the percentage at 100.

  • Why is a total of 0 rejected?

    Division by zero is not allowed. The total must be greater than 0. A negative total also leaves the result as --.

  • Does this use a subject-weighted engineering cut-off?

    No. This page uses one marks figure and one total. It does not split Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry into separate weights. Enter the marks and the total for the score you want as a percentage.

  • Are grace marks or negative marking included?

    Only if they are already in the marks you type. The calculator does not add grace marks or subtract penalties on its own. 87.5 out of 100 is shown as 87.50%.

  • Is this percentage the same as a college’s admission cut-off?

    A college cut-off is a threshold the college publishes. This tool turns your marks and the paper total into a percentage you can set beside that threshold. It does not look up college lists or ranks.

This percentage is your marks divided by the total. Compare it with the cut-off a college publishes. Career Bracket does not decide admission.
