If you’re studying under a board where the total marks are out of 600 (like Tamil Nadu State Board and a few others), this guide will help you calculate your percentage easily and accurately.
How to Calculate Plus One Percentage (Out of 600 Marks)
If your total mark is out of 600, here’s a simple formula:
Percentage= mark scored /600 *100
Just divide your total score by 600 and multiply by 100 to get your percentage.
Step-by-step Example
Let’s say your subject-wise marks are:
- Tamil – 85
- English – 78
- Maths – 92
- Physics – 88
- Chemistry – 90
- Biology – 82
Total = 85 + 78 + 92 + 88 + 90 + 82 = 515 Percentage = (515/600) × 100 = 85.83%
So your Plus One percentage is 85.83%.
Quick Tips for Accurate Calculation
- Always double-check your total. Even one mark can affect your overall percentage.
- If your board uses practical and theory scores separately, make sure you include both.
- Avoid using random online calculators unless they match your board’s evaluation pattern.

This depends on your goals. But here’s a general guide:
