Weighted grades
Multiply each category grade by its course weight, add the contributions, then normalize by the weight entered so far.
Final exam targets
The current grade represents completed coursework. The final weight replaces the remaining share of the course.
Local grading rules
Schools use different scales, rounding, drops, curves, and extra-credit policies. Customize thresholds and confirm the syllabus.
How it works
Know where the grade comes from.
Choose the grading setup, enter the weights or points, and inspect each contribution or possible outcome.
- 01
Choose the grade question
Combine weighted categories, work backwards from a desired course grade, or turn earned and possible points into a percentage.
- 02
Enter the grading rules
Add category weights or final-exam weight, then adjust the A, B, C, and D thresholds to match the syllabus.
- 03
Inspect the breakdown
See course-point contributions, required scores, letter grades, and what-if outcomes instead of relying on one unexplained result.
Built for real syllabuses
Flexible enough for different grading rules.
Custom letter thresholds
Replace the default 90–80–70–60 scale with the exact A–F boundaries used by a course or school.
Transparent what-if results
Review every weighted contribution or compare course outcomes across six possible final-exam scores.
Grade calculator questions
Weights, targets, points, and rounding.
How do I calculate a weighted grade?+
Multiply each grade by its weight as a decimal, add those contributions, then divide by the total weight entered if the course is not yet complete.
How do I calculate the grade needed on a final exam?+
Subtract the completed coursework contribution from the target course grade, then divide by the final exam’s weight as a decimal.
What does normalized current grade mean?+
When entered categories total less than 100%, the calculator divides the course points earned so far by the completed weight. This shows performance on graded work only.
Can a required final grade be above 100%?+
Yes. That means the target cannot be reached through ordinary points on the final alone. Extra credit, a curve, changed weights, or a lower target would be needed.
Why can a required final score be zero or negative?+
It means the completed coursework has already secured the target even if the final exam score were zero, assuming the weights entered are correct.
Can the points score exceed 100%?+
Yes. Earned points can exceed possible points when extra credit is included.
Does the calculator round grades?+
Results display two decimal places but calculations retain full precision. Your instructor may use a different rounding, curve, drop, or extra-credit policy.
