How to use the Attendance Percentage Calculator

Pakistani schools and boards generally require 75% attendance to allow a student into board exams — fall short and you risk being struck off or fined. This guide on how to calculate attendance percentage for school in Pakistan does more than the basic division: it also tells you exactly how many days short of 75% you are, or how many more days you can afford to miss while staying eligible.

  1. Enter the number of days you were present, from your school register or diary.
  2. Enter the total working days so far this term in the Total working days field.
  3. Click Calculate to see your attendance percentage.
  4. Read the shortfall line: if it is positive, attend that many more days; if negative, the third line shows your safe buffer.

Formula

Attendance % = (Days present ÷ Total working days) × 100. Days short of 75% = 0.75 × Total days − Days present. Safe absences remaining = Days present ÷ 0.75 − Total days.

Worked example

Present 180 out of 220 working days: 180 ÷ 220 × 100 = 81.82% attendance — safely above 75%. Safe buffer = 180 ÷ 0.75 − 220 = 20 more days can be missed. At only 150 present, shortfall = 165 − 150 = 15 days still needed.
