Grade Calculator
Calculate your overall weighted class grade and determine the exact score needed on your final exam to achieve a target letter grade.
Grade Calculator
Use this calculator to find out your overall course grade based on weighted averages. Accepts percentages, points (e.g. 45/50), and letter grades. You can also calculate the exact score needed on your final exam.
Weighted Assignments & Exams
Average: 88.92%(B+, 3.3 GPA)
Total Weight Accounted: 60%How Weighted Grades are Calculated
In a weighted grading system, different assignments carry different percentages of the overall final grade (for example, exams may count for 40% while homework counts for 10%). The overall course grade is calculated as:
Final Exam Target Score Formula
Grade Needed Formula
Score Needed = [Target Grade - (Current Grade × (1 - Final Weight))] ÷ Final Weight
Example: If you currently have an 85% in a class and want a 90% overall, with a final exam worth 30%:
Score Needed = [90 - (85 × 0.70)] ÷ 0.30 = [90 - 59.5] ÷ 0.30 = 30.5 ÷ 0.30 = 101.67%.

- 2 Click the green "Calculate ▶️" button to see your current overall grade and letter equivalent.
- 3 Switch to the "Final Exam Grade Needed" tab to calculate what you must score on your final exam to reach a target course grade.
Grade Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 How do weighted grades work? ▾
In a weighted grading system, each assignment category contributes a specific percentage to your final score (e.g. Midterm 25%, Final 35%, Homework 40%). The sum of all earned weighted contributions equals your final percentage.
Q2 What if my total weights do not add up to 100% yet? ▾
The calculator computes your grade based on the assignments completed so far by dividing your earned weighted points by the total weight entered to date.
Q3 How do I calculate what I need on my final exam? ▾
Use the Final Exam Grade Needed tab: enter your current standing, desired final grade (e.g. 90% for an A), and the final exam's percentage weight.
