Grade Calculator

In a weighted grading system, each category of assignments counts for a specific percentage of your final grade. For example, if homework is 20%, midterms 30%, and the final exam 50%, a perfect homework score contributes 20 percentage points to your final grade regardless of your other scores.

Enter all your current scores and their weights, then enter your desired final grade (e.g., 60% for passing). The calculator tells you the minimum score needed on the remaining (final exam) category. For example, if you have 75% with 80% of the course complete, you need at least 15% on the final to pass.

The calculator works best with percentage-based grading. For point-based systems (where each assignment is worth a set number of points), simply convert to percentages first: your score divided by total possible points, then multiply by 100.

Grading curves adjust scores based on class performance. This calculator shows your raw (uncurved) grade. If your professor curves, your actual grade may be higher. Common curve methods include adding a fixed number of points, scaling all scores, or adjusting to a target mean.

Enter a score of 0 for the missed assignment. This will accurately reflect the impact on your weighted grade. If your professor allows dropped scores, exclude that category or adjust the weights accordingly.
