Grade Calculator — your current percent in one class

Enter each assignment or category with your grade and how much of the course it is worth. Your class grade updates as you type — including how much of the course is already decided, so a mid-term number never pretends to be final.

Only 60% of your grade is decided so far. If the remaining 40% comes in at exactly this level, you finish at 88.3% — a B+. To work out what one specific remaining exam has to be, use the final exam calculator.

Grade calculator vs GPA calculator

Students mix these up constantly, so here is the line between them. A grade is the percent inside a single class, built from that class's assignments and their weights — homework, quizzes, exams. A GPA is the average across all your classes, after each class's final grade is converted to points on the 4.0 scale and weighted by credits. This page does the first job; the GPA calculator does the second. And when the one remaining item is a final exam, the final exam calculator answers the sharper question: what do I need on it?

How weighted grades actually work

Each category contributes (your percent in it) × (its weight). Add the contributions and divide by the total weight entered. A 95% in homework worth 20% contributes 19 points; an 84% on a midterm worth 30% contributes 25.2. The unweighted average of 95 and 84 is 89.5 — the weighted truth is lower, because the weaker score sits in the heavier category. That gap is exactly why "my average looks fine" surprises happen in December.

Questions

How is this different from the GPA calculator?

This tool works inside one class: it averages your assignments into a percent (like 88%). The GPA calculator works across classes: it converts each class's final letter grade into points on a 4.0 scale and averages those by credits. Use this one during the term; use the GPA one at the end of it.

Where do I find the weights?

On the course syllabus — most list category weights (homework 20%, exams 50%, and so on). If your class is points-based instead (500 points total), enter each item's points as its weight; the math comes out the same.

My weights don't add to 100% yet. Is the result wrong?

No — mid-term, only part of the course is decided. The result is your average on the work counted so far, and the tool says exactly what share of the course that is. As you add the remaining categories, the share climbs to 100%.

Can one assignment really move my grade that much?

Only in proportion to its weight. A 20%-weight final swings your grade five times harder than a 4%-weight quiz. That is the whole point of weighted grades — and why the weight column matters more than any single score.
