Plan smarter, study better, and predict your final grade with a fast, accurate, and mobile-friendly calculator.
Our free Grade Calculator makes it effortless to compute your current grade, calculate a weighted average, and forecast the final score required to hit your target grade. Whether you’re a high school student tracking quizzes and homework, a college student balancing projects and exams, or a teacher verifying grading policies, this tool gives you instant clarity. Simply enter each category (e.g., assignments, labs, midterms, final exam), its weight, and your score. The calculator handles the math, so you can focus on your study strategy.
Most courses use weighted grading: each category contributes a percentage to your overall grade. Our calculator uses the standard weighted average formula:
Final Grade (%) = (Score₁ × Weight₁ + Score₂ × Weight₂ + … + Scoreₙ × Weightₙ) ÷ (Weight₁ + Weight₂ + … + Weightₙ)
If your syllabus already sums weights to 100%, the denominator equals 100 and drops out. If your instructor drops lowest scores or uses points instead of percentages, you can adapt the inputs accordingly (see Common Mistakes & Edge Cases).
Syllabus:
Current portion (70% of the course completed, excluding final):
(85×0.20) + (92×0.10) + (80×0.20) + (78×0.20) = 17 + 9.2 + 16 + 15.6 = 57.8%.
Since the final exam is 30%, your current standing is 57.8% out of the completed 70%. Your current percentage
can also be reported as 57.8 / 70 = 82.57% in the completed portion.
If you want a final course grade of 90%, the needed final-exam score is:
Target = CurrentContribution + FinalExamScore × FinalWeight
0.90 = 0.578 + FinalExamScore × 0.30
FinalExamScore = (0.90 − 0.578) ÷ 0.30 = 1.073… ≈ 107.3%
Conclusion: a 90% overall is not feasible here unless extra credit exists. But an 85% target would require: FinalExamScore = (0.85 − 0.578) ÷ 0.30 = 0.9067 → 90.7%.
Suppose your course uses points: Homework (200 pts), Quizzes (100 pts), Labs (150 pts), Midterm (150 pts), Final (200 pts). Convert each category score to a percentage and assign weights proportional to total points.
If you scored 170/200 on Homework → 85%, 88/100 on Quizzes → 88%, 135/150 on Labs → 90%, 120/150 on Midterm → 80%, and Final pending, the calculator will compute your current standing and target.
If your instructor drops the lowest quiz, remove it before averaging the quiz category. E.g., quizzes: 60, 75, 90, 95. Drop 60 → average = (75 + 90 + 95) ÷ 3 = 86.67%. Enter 86.67% as your quiz score with the quiz weight.
Grading varies by school and country. Our calculator is flexible and works with most systems. Here’s a quick overview:
Some schools use plus/minus (A-, B+, etc.) with slightly different cutoffs.
Weighted GPA may award extra points for honors/AP/IB courses.
Many universities use a 10-point or 5-point scale (e.g., 8.5/10). Convert to percentage if needed or compute directly using weights. Our tool stays accurate either way.
For cumulative results across courses or semesters, use our GPA Calculator or CGPA Calculator.
In weighted grading, each category contributes differently to your final grade (e.g., final exam is heavier than homework). In unweighted grading, every item is equal and the final number is a simple average. If your course is unweighted, set each item’s weight equal (or convert to equal percentages) and the calculator will produce the same result as a simple average.
This calculator can validate your gradebook math, test what-if changes to weights, and communicate transparent grade projections to students. Consider sharing category rubrics and example calculations so students understand how their performance translates into final results.
Enter your current category averages, then input your desired final grade. The calculator shows the exact score you need on the remaining exam(s) to reach your goal—so you can prioritize your study plan.

It’s fully accurate when you enter correct weights and category scores as defined in your syllabus. Differences typically arise from rounding policies, dropped scores, or extra credit—make sure to handle those as described above.
Yes. Enter your current categories and set a target final grade. The tool calculates the minimum final-exam score required.
Absolutely. Convert each category to a percentage (earned ÷ total × 100) and assign weights proportional to total points, or use equal weights for an unweighted average.
Remove the lowest item before averaging the category, then enter the updated category average with its weight.
Yes. Enter your percentage equivalents for each category (e.g., 92% for an A-) using your school’s conversion chart, and the calculator will compute the final.
No. Weighted GPA adds extra points for course difficulty (AP/IB/Honors). Weighted grades refer to category weights within a single course.
It’s ideal, but the calculator normalizes by the total weight entered. Just be sure you haven’t missed a category that will be graded later.
Some instructors round at the category level; others only at the final course grade. Ask your instructor to avoid last-minute surprises.
Yes. It’s helpful for transparent progress tracking and for validating that gradebook math aligns with the syllabus.
The calculator is responsive and works on desktop, tablet, and mobile. No downloads required.
You can copy results, export a screenshot, or note the key numbers. Check your app’s features for PDF saving if available.
