The compliance score for the accessibility checks is calculated by using 100, a perfect score, minus the number of errors found. This is then divided by the total number of accessibility checks.

For example:  
If the compliance for individual accessibility checks is calculated by the:

**total number of pages minus pages with issues**

for the:

**check total number of pages multiplied by 100**

It will make no difference if there are 10 or 10.000 issues, the system calculates the _number of pages that fail the check_ as opposed to the total number of pages.
