Grade Calculator
Calculate your course grade from weighted components—assignments, midterms, finals, and more. Get a percentage and letter grade instantly.
Many courses grade by weighted components: e.g. homework 20%, midterm 30%, final 50%. Enter each component’s weight (from your syllabus) and your scores. The calculator gives your current or final grade. You can customize letter grade boundaries to match your school.
Use this to track your grade during the term or to see what you need on the final to hit a target—then use our Final Exam Calculator for the exact score required.
How to Use the Grade Calculator

Understanding Weighted Grades
A weighted grade system assigns different importance levels to various course components. For example, a final exam worth 40% has twice the impact of a midterm worth 20%.
The calculation multiplies each component score by its weight, then sums all weighted scores to get your final grade. Formula: (Score₁ × Weight₁) + (Score₂ × Weight₂) + ... = Final Grade
Example:
- Assignments: 85% × 30% = 25.5
- Midterm: 78% × 30% = 23.4
- Final Exam: 92% × 40% = 36.8
- Final Grade: 85.7% (B)
