# Italian Voto di Laurea Calculator (/30 → /110) > Work out your Italian degree mark: enter exam votes out of 30 and CFU credits to get the media ponderata, base /110 mark and final voto di laurea (110 e lode). - **Category:** Education & Grades - **Interactive calculator:** https://youcalc.com/en/education-grades/italian-voto-laurea/ - **Price:** Free, no sign-up required ## Overview This calculator estimates an Italian university degree mark — the voto di laurea — from your exam votes. In Italy each exam is graded out of 30 (18 is the pass mark, 30 e lode the top), and the degree is awarded on a 110-point scale. Enter every exam as a vote out of 30 and its CFU credits; the tool computes the credit-weighted average (media ponderata), scales it to 110 to get your base degree mark, then adds the thesis/commission bonus. The result is indicative: the exact bonus and the rules for 110 e lode are set by each università’s regolamento, so treat the figure as a starting estimate, not an official transcript. ## How to read your result The headline is your final mark out of 110, with 66 the minimum needed to graduate and 110 e lode the highest distinction. Below it you see three numbers: the media ponderata (your credit-weighted exam average out of 30), the base mark (that average converted to 110, before any bonus), and the bonus the commission added. The bar shows how each exam — weighted by its CFU — contributes to the average, so a 12-credit exam moves the result more than a 6-credit one. A vote of 31 in an exam row represents 30 e lode and is counted as 30 in the average, following the most common convention. ## Method For each exam the vote is read out of 30, with a vote of 31 (30 e lode) clamped to 30 for averaging. The media ponderata is the credit-weighted mean Σ(min(voto,30) × CFU) ÷ Σ(CFU). The base degree mark is media ponderata × 110 ÷ 30, rounded to the nearest integer. The final mark is the base mark plus the thesis/commission bonus (0–11), capped at 110; 110 e lode is shown only when the final mark reaches 110 and the lode option is selected. The 66/110 pass flag marks the graduation threshold. Inputs are validated with Zod (voto an integer 18–31, CFU greater than 0, bonus 0–11). The figure is an educational estimate — the precise bonus structure and lode rules are set by each università’s regolamento and vary between institutions. ## Example - **Setup:** Three exams of 6 CFU each: 30, 27 and 24, with a thesis/commission bonus of 7 points. - **Result:** Media ponderata = (30×6 + 27×6 + 24×6) ÷ 18 = 27 out of 30. Base mark = 27 × 110 ÷ 30 = 99 out of 110. Final mark = 99 + 7 = 106 out of 110. Because heavier exams (more CFU) pull the average more, raising a high-credit exam lifts the degree mark more than raising a low-credit one. ## Frequently asked questions ### How is the Italian voto di laurea calculated? It starts from the media ponderata — the average of your exam votes (out of 30) weighted by each exam’s CFU credits: Σ(voto × CFU) ÷ Σ(CFU). That average is converted to the 110-point scale by multiplying by 110/30 (the same as ×11/3) to give the base degree mark. The graduation commission then adds a thesis and career bonus, and the final mark is capped at 110. This base formula is standard across Italian universities, as published by Politecnico di Torino. ### What does "30 e lode" mean, and how is it counted? 30 e lode (also written 30L, 30 cum laude) is the honours mark above a plain 30 — it recognises an outstanding exam but is still numerically a 30. In this calculator enter it as a vote of 31. For the weighted average it is counted as 30, which is the most common Italian convention; some universities count lode marks differently in their internal regulations, so this is one place results can vary by ateneo. ### What is the thesis or commission bonus? After the base mark is fixed, the degree commission can add points (typically up to about 11 in total) for the thesis defence, graduating on time, courses taken in English, study abroad such as Erasmus, and overall career. The exact maximum and how each part is awarded are set by each course’s regolamento didattico — Politecnico di Torino, for example, lets its commission add up to 5 points — so the bonus you enter here is your own estimate. ### What counts as a pass, and what is 110 e lode? A single exam passes at 18 out of 30. For the degree itself, 66 out of 110 is the minimum needed to graduate. The top distinction is 110 e lode (110 con lode, 110 with honours), awarded by the commission when the final mark reaches 110 and the course’s honours rules are met — lode itself does not change the numerical average. ### How does this map to ECTS or a GPA for going abroad? It does not convert automatically. The /30 and /110 marks are Italian scales; to compare with ECTS grades (A–F) or a GPA you need a separate, institution-specific mapping, because there is no single official formula. Use this tool to find your Italian mark, then an ECTS or GPA converter for the target system — and confirm with the receiving university, since credential evaluators vary. ## Related calculators - [ECTS Grade Converter](https://youcalc.com/en/education-grades/ects-grade-converter/) - [Weighted Grade Calculator](https://youcalc.com/en/education-grades/weighted-grade-calculator/) - [International Grade to US GPA Converter](https://youcalc.com/en/education-grades/international-grade-to-gpa/) - [GPA Equivalence Converter](https://youcalc.com/en/education-grades/gpa-equivalence-converter/) - [Latin Honours & Degree Classification Calculator](https://youcalc.com/en/education-grades/latin-honours/) - [GPA Percentile Calculator](https://youcalc.com/en/education-grades/gpa-percentile-estimator/) - [China GPA Converter](https://youcalc.com/en/education-grades/china-gpa-converter/) ## Sources - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_grading_in_Italy - https://didattica.polito.it/guida/2025/it/determinazione_del_voto_finale_triennale?cds=11&sdu=32 --- Interactive version: https://youcalc.com/en/education-grades/italian-voto-laurea/ · From YouCalc — https://youcalc.com
