Attendance Percentage Calculator

About this calculator

Attendance percentage is a simple ratio, the number of sessions, classes, or days actually attended divided by the total number that were scheduled, multiplied by 100, but it carries real consequences in academic and workplace settings where a minimum attendance threshold is often a formal requirement. Many universities and secondary schools set a minimum bar, commonly around 75% to 80%, below which a student can be barred from sitting a final exam or have a course grade penalized regardless of academic performance.

Students track this figure through a term to know how many additional absences they can afford before crossing a policy threshold, and administrators and HR departments use the same calculation to monitor compliance with attendance policies, scholarship conditions, or visa requirements that hinge on maintaining a minimum enrollment attendance rate.

Enter the number of sessions attended and the total number scheduled and this calculator returns your attendance percentage.
