How it works

From raw scores to a final grade, in three steps

The calculator runs a standard weighted-average formula — the same one most instructors use to compute your course grade.

1

List each component

Add a row for every assignment, quiz, exam, or project that counts toward your final grade — name it however you like.

2

Enter score and weight

Type the percentage you scored on each item and the weight it carries in your syllabus (for example, exams worth 40%).

3

Get your grade instantly

The calculator multiplies each score by its weight, totals the results, and converts the outcome into a letter grade.

About the Grade Calculator

Most courses don't average your scores evenly — a final exam usually counts more than a single homework set. This tool uses the weighted-average method: each score is multiplied by its weight, the results are summed, and the total is divided by the combined weight.

That single number is then matched against a standard grading scale to show you a letter grade, so you instantly know where you stand before report cards or transcripts are finalized.

FAQs

Common questions about grade calculations

Multiply each score by its weight, add all those results together, then divide by the total weight. For example, an 80% worth 30% and a 90% worth 70% gives (80×30 + 90×70) ÷ 100 = 87%. The calculator above does this automatically.
An unweighted average treats every item equally, regardless of importance. A weighted average gives more influence to items your syllabus marks as worth more, such as a final exam counting for 40% versus a quiz counting for 5%.
No — the formula divides by the total weight you enter, so it still works if your weights add up to something other than 100. That said, matching your actual syllabus weights gives you the most accurate result.
Yes. The weighted-average method and the standard letter scale shown above apply to most grading systems. If your school uses a custom scale, use the percentage result and compare it against your institution's own grade chart.
No. Every calculation happens directly in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you type into the calculator is stored on a server or shared with anyone.
Enter your known components first, leave the final exam row with your target overall grade in mind, then try different scores in that row until the result matches the grade you want — that score is what you need to earn.
