Calculate job match from requirements your resume can actually prove.
Compare a resume and job description requirement by requirement. RoleMetric weights required and preferred items separately, shows the evidence behind the result, and prevents an impressive keyword count from hiding a decisive gap.

A weighted match, not a word overlap
Not every line in a job description carries equal importance. The calculator identifies required and preferred qualifications, responsibilities, and role signals, then weights them so a missing must-have cannot be canceled out by several low-value keyword matches.
- Required qualifications receive the highest screening weight
- Preferred qualifications add strength without masquerading as requirements
- Repeated words do not earn repeated evidence credit
Every point has a source
A percentage is useful only when you can audit it. Open any requirement to see the job-description phrase, the supporting resume passage, the assigned evidence state, and the reason it affected the match.
- Exact means directly supported by the resume
- Adjacent means related evidence that may transfer but is not identical
- Missing and unclear items stay visible for your review
Use the score to choose the next action
The goal is not to chase 100. The useful next step may be clarifying experience already present, selecting a more relevant example, fixing the document's reading order, or deciding that a genuine requirement gap cannot be solved with editing.
- Rank changes by likely screening impact
- Do not optimize language around experience you do not have
- Save a tailored version without overwriting your master resume
How to run this check

Use the complete description so requirements are not evaluated out of context.
- 2Upload the resume
RoleMetric extracts and maps evidence from the document.
- 3Audit the match
Open the highest-weight requirements and decide what can honestly improve.
Questions about Resume Match Calculator
What is a good resume match percentage?
There is no universal cutoff. Read the required-qualification breakdown and evidence behind the number; one missing must-have can matter more than a high overall percentage.
Can I compare one resume with multiple jobs?
Yes. Run a separate comparison for each job description. Similar titles can have materially different requirements, and each report should preserve that context.
Does keyword frequency improve the match?
Not by itself. Repetition does not create experience. RoleMetric looks for evidence that a skill or qualification was used in relevant work.
