Pass Rate Calculator

About This Calculator

This calculator helps you determine the pass rate of an exam by using two key inputs: the total number of candidates and how many passed. It also computes the number of failed candidates and the corresponding fail rate. This tool is useful for educators, administrators, and exam analysts who need quick insights into exam outcomes.

How It Works

  1. Enter the total number of exam candidates (minimum of 1).
  2. Enter the number of candidates who passed the exam.
  3. Click the Calculate button to see:
    • Pass Rate: percentage of candidates who passed
    • Failed Count: number of candidates who did not pass
    • Fail Rate: percentage of candidates who failed
Pass Rate = PassedTotal × 100

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the pass rate?

The pass rate is the percentage of candidates who passed the exam out of the total number of candidates. It is calculated as: (Passed ÷ Total) × 100.

How is the fail rate calculated?

The fail rate is the remaining percentage after subtracting the pass rate from 100%. Formula: 100 − Pass Rate.

Can the number of passed candidates exceed the total number of candidates?

No. If the passed count exceeds the total, the calculator will show an error. Passed candidates must be less than or equal to total candidates.

Who can benefit from this calculator?

This tool is ideal for teachers, school administrators, certification bodies, and exam organizers who want to quickly assess exam success rates.

Can I use this calculator for multiple exams?

Yes, you can recalculate for different exams by adjusting the input values. However, it only supports one set of inputs at a time.
