Weighted grade calculator

Add each graded item with its score and weight. You can also include a final exam to test a target overall grade.

Calculate a weighted grade and a final-exam target

Enter each assessment as a percentage score and its share of the course grade. The calculator averages the work entered so far; when its weights total less than 100%, it can also find the score needed on the remaining assessment.

How to use it

  1. Fill in both the score and weight for each assessment. Add or remove rows to match your course.
  2. Check the total weight alongside the average. An average based on 60% of the course does not mean that the remaining 40% has already been graded.
  3. Open the final-score section and enter your target percentage. The final assessment's weight is the unused part of 100%, calculated automatically.

Example

Starting point
Two scores: 80% with a 30% weight and 90% with a 30% weight. Target overall grade: 88%.
What to expect
The completed-work average is 85%, with 60% total weight. The remaining assessment weighs 40%; you need 92.50% on it to reach 88%.

Before you start

  • Scores and individual weights range from 0 to 100; total weight cannot exceed 100%. A partially filled row needs both values, and at least one weight must be positive.
  • A required score above 100% is unattainable within this scale. A result at or below 0% means the entered work already reaches the target under this model.
  • Use your course's actual weights. Dropped assessments, bonus marks, grade boundaries and institutional rounding rules are not applied automatically.
