MSR = (M-D) / M  * 100

  • Where MSR is the Marriage Success Rate (%)
  • D is the number of divorces 
  • M is the number of marriages 

How to Calculate Marriage Success Rate?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Marriage Success Rate.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the number of divorces. 
    • The number of divorces is given as: 300.
  2. Next, determine the number of marriages. 
    • The number of marriages is provided as: 1000.
  3. Finally, calculate the Marriage Success Rate using the equation above: 

MSR = (M-D) / M  * 100

The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.

MSR = (1000-300) / 1000  * 100 = 70.00 (%)

Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

number of divorces = 100

number of marriages = 500
