How the grade calculator works
Enter the score and weight for each part of your grade, such as homework, quizzes, a midterm, and a final, and the tool computes your weighted overall grade and letter. Each category counts in proportion to its weight, so a 40 percent final affects your grade far more than a 5 percent homework set.
Weighted categories
Your overall grade is the sum of each score times its weight, divided by the total weight entered. If your weights add up to 100 percent, the result is your full course grade. If they add to less, the tool shows your grade based on the work graded so far, which is handy mid semester before everything is in.
Tracking your grade over the term
Fill in the categories you have scores for and leave the rest blank to see where you stand right now. The weight remaining figure tells you how much of your grade is still undecided, which shows how much room you have to move your grade up or down with the work that is left.
Letter grades
The letter uses the common scale of 90 and up for an A, 80s a B, and so on. Your school may apply pluses, minuses, or rounding rules, so confirm against your syllabus. To find what you need on a remaining item, pair this with the final grade calculator.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a weighted grade? Multiply each category score by its weight, add them up, and divide by the total weight.
What if my weights do not add to 100? The tool divides by the weight you entered, giving your grade on the work graded so far.
