Your mark, as a percentage.

How the WMA percentage is calculated

World Masters Athletics publishes, for each event, sex and age, a factor that corrects performance loss over the years and a reference mark that acts as a ceiling. With these two figures, any mark becomes a percentage comparable across ages.

1. Age factor

   The factor for your exact age, sex and event is looked up. At 45 in the 100 m it is 0.9345: your mark is "worth" 6.5% more than that of an open-category athlete.

2. Reference mark

   Each event and sex has a reference mark that represents 100%. In men's 100 m, 9.58.

3. Percentage

   In races, the reference is divided by your corrected mark. In jumps and throws, the other way round.

   9.58 / (12.00 × 0,9345) = 85,43 %

Age groups run in five-year bands from age 35, but the factor is applied with your exact age. The calculator also tells you whether your mark meets the Spanish championships qualifying standard for your age group.

Four calculators

All of them use the WMA 2023 tables and the 2025 Spanish qualifying standards. No account is needed to calculate.

• 

  Individual

  Choose the event, enter sex, age and mark and you get the percentage. With "Inverse calculation" you do the opposite: what mark you need to reach a percentage or a qualifying standard.

  Combined events

  Decathlon, heptathlon and pentathlon with the masters rule: each mark is age-corrected before going through the World Athletics scoring table. You see the points per event, the total and the absolute points.
