What does your guna milan score out of 36 mean?

Pick your score to see where it sits among every possible pairing of two Moon positions, all 518,400 of them, scored by the same engine as GrahAI's matching tool.

26.5/36 scores higher than 85.3% of all pairings

2.05% of all possible pairings of Moon positions score exactly 26.5. It is 8.5 points above 18, the line many families treat as the minimum for a match.

Where scores usually fall

Across all pairings, 32.3% score below 18, 37.9% score 18 to 24.5, and 29.9% score 25 or more. Eighteen is the line many families treat as the minimum for a match. When GrahAI compared the scores of 1,946 couples checked on the site against these chance figures, the two came out almost the same; the research note has the details.

Why so many scores end in .5

The score is the sum of eight kootas. Three of them can award half points: Graha Maitri, Tara, Vashya. The other five score in whole points, so a total like 26.5 simply means one of those three came out at a half.

What the number leaves out

The whole score is computed from the two Moon positions and nothing else. It does not look at Mars and Manglik dosha, at either person's 7th house and its lord, or at when the charts are timed for marriage. Two couples with the same score can have very different charts.
