What is a Negative Marking Calculator?
A Negative Marking Calculator is an online tool that helps you calculate your final exam score after applying negative marking for incorrect answers. It considers the total questions, attempted questions, correct answers, marks awarded for each correct answer, and penalty for each wrong answer.
It is useful for competitive exams and entrance tests where marks are added for correct answers and deducted for incorrect answers. The calculator also shows your wrong answers, accuracy, unattempted questions, and total penalty deducted.
For example, if you attempt 80 questions, get 70 correct, and each correct answer carries 1 mark with a 1-mark penalty for each wrong answer, your final score is 60 marks.

Negative Marking Calculation Formula
The calculator finds the wrong answers, unattempted questions, marks earned, and penalty to calculate your final score.
- Wrong Answers = Questions Attempted − Correct Answers
- Unattempted Questions = Total Questions − Questions Attempted
- Marks Earned = Correct Answers × Marks per Correct Answer
- Penalty = Wrong Answers × Penalty per Wrong Answer
Final Score = Marks Earned − Penalty
Example
Total Questions = 100
Questions Attempted = 80
Correct Answers = 70
Marks per Correct Answer = 1
Penalty per Wrong Answer = 1
- Wrong Answers = 80 − 70 = 10
- Unattempted = 100 − 80 = 20
- Marks Earned = 70 × 1 = 70
- Penalty = 10 × 1 = 10
- Final Score = 70 − 10 = 60 marks
- Accuracy = (70 ÷ 80) × 100 = 87.5%
