Abitur Grade Calculator
Work out your Abitur grade from your Block I and Block II points or the total, by the KMK formula, with the points you need for the next better grade.
Abitur Grade Calculator: The Abitur grade comes from the total points, 300 to 900, by the formula agreed by the Kultusministerkonferenz: 17/3 minus the points divided by 180, worked out to one decimal place without rounding up, so 700 points give 1.7. Block I scales the course points counted to 600, and Block II multiplies the five exam results by four, up to 300. Passing needs at least 200 points in Block I and 100 in Block II, among other conditions. Runs 100% locally in your browser with zero server file uploads.

Grade = 17/3 − points ÷ 180, to one decimal place without rounding up, by the Kultusministerkonferenz agreement. Which courses count, and how Block I is weighted, differ between the federal states; your school's figures win.
Points and grades
Every tenth of a grade spans 18 points: 823 to 900 points give 1.0, 805 to 822 give 1.1, 697 to 714 give 1.7, and exactly 300 give 4.0. A few points can therefore decide a tenth that matters for admission to degrees with a numerus clausus.
To average single grades or convert points to grades, use the Notenrechner.
Passing conditions
Besides 200 points in Block I and 100 in Block II, each state limits how many courses may be below 5 points, and exams need a minimum number of points; a total above 300 alone does not guarantee a pass.
How to use it
- Enter the sum of the course points counted in Block I and the number of courses, or your total points.
- Enter the five exam results for Block II, 0 to 15 points each.
- Read your Abitur grade and how many more points the next grade needs.

Frequently asked questions
How many points do I need for a 1.0?
823 points or more. Each tenth of a grade is about 18 points: 805 for 1.1, 787 for 1.2, and so on down to 300 points for 4.0.
Why is my grade not rounded?
The KMK rule takes the first decimal place and drops the rest: 1.78 becomes 1.7, not 1.8. This is the same in every federal state.
Are the rules the same in every state?
The grade formula is, but which and how many courses count in Block I, and how advanced courses are weighted, differ between states. Use the totals from your school's overview when you have them.
