Work out your overall course grade from weighted assignments, quizzes, tests, and exams — instant results, right in your browser. Runs entirely in your browser — your numbers never leave this device.
| Category | Score | Weight | Points toward final grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Homework | 95% | 20% | 19 pts |
| Quizzes | 88% | 20% | 17.6 pts |
| Midterm Exam | 82% | 30% | 24.6 pts |
| Final Exam | Not graded yet | 30% | — |
Leave a category's score blank if it hasn't been graded yet — it counts toward the remaining weight and the best possible final grade, not toward your current grade.
Most course grades are weighted averages, not simple averages. Your syllabus splits the grade into categories — homework, quizzes, tests, projects, a final exam — and gives each a percentage weight. For each category, take your average percentage score, multiply it by its weight, add those products together, and divide by the total weight (usually 100). The result is your overall percentage, which maps to a letter grade on the standard scale (90–92% = A−, 87–89% = B+, 83–86% = B, and so on).
If a category has not happened yet, such as a final exam still to come, this calculator handles what you have completed; to find the score you need on what remains, use the Final Grade Calculator, which solves the same weighted-average equation backwards. Entering only completed work here and renormalising over the weights entered shows your standing on the work done so far.
The main assumption is that the weights you enter match your syllabus. Teachers occasionally drop the lowest quiz or curve a test, and those adjustments will not show up in a straight weighted average — so treat the result as an accurate calculation from the published weights, and ask your teacher how drops or curves apply to you.
In your course syllabus or your school's online grade portal, which usually lists the weight next to each category. If the weights do not add up to 100 in what you were given, a category is probably missing — often the final exam. Enter the weights exactly as published and this calculator handles the division correctly.
Calculate your quiz category average without the dropped score, then enter that average here. The calculator applies the published weights to the averages you give it; drop policies, curves, and extra credit happen inside a category average, so adjust that average first and the weighted total will follow.
On the common 10-point scale, 93–100% is an A, 90–92% an A−, 87–89% a B+, 83–86% a B, 80–82% a B−, and each band steps down by roughly three points from there, with anything below 60% an F. Your school's bands may differ slightly — the full table is on the Letter Grade Converter page.
No. It runs 100% in your browser and stores nothing — your scores and category weights are processed on your device only and are never sent to a server or kept after you leave. There is nothing to sign up for and no history to delete.
Usually because the portal includes something the plain weighted average does not: a dropped lowest score, a curve, extra credit, or a zero for a missing assignment you have not entered. Recheck that every scored item is in your category averages, including zeros — a single unentered zero is the most common cause of a mismatch.
