Find the weights in your syllabus
Look for the percentage assigned to homework, quizzes, projects, midterms, and finals. You can also enter individual assignments when each one has its own weight.
Combine assignments, exams, and course categories with different weights—then see the score you need on your final. Start with our weighted grade calculator, or pick another free tool below.
Use either categories or individual assignments.
| Item or category | Grade | Weight |
|---|
Grades may be above 100% for extra credit. Weights should be between 0% and 100%.
Enter each course grade and its credit hours.
| Course | Grade | Credits |
|---|
Standard 4.0 scale: A/A+ = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B− = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C− = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, D− = 0.7, F = 0.0.
Look for the percentage assigned to homework, quizzes, projects, midterms, and finals. You can also enter individual assignments when each one has its own weight.
A score of 88% in a category worth 25% contributes 22 points to the course grade: 88 × 0.25 = 22.
If your weights total less than 100%, “current grade” normalizes only the work entered. “Course points earned” shows how many points those items contribute to the full course.
Suppose homework is 20% of the course, quizzes are 30%, and a midterm is 50%. Multiply each score by its decimal weight and add the contributions.
Some work counts more than others. A final worth 40% affects your result more than a quiz worth 5%, even if both are scored out of 100.
Every score counts equally. Add the scores and divide by the number of scores. This only works when all items carry the same importance.
Wondering what score you need on your final exam to keep your A or pass the course? Open the “Final grade needed” tab in the calculator above. Enter your current grade, the final exam’s weight, and the overall grade you want — this final exam calculator instantly shows the minimum final-exam score required.
Example: with a current grade of 88%, a final worth 25%, and a target of 90%, you need 96% on the final: (90 − 88 × 0.75) ÷ 0.25 = 96.
For one test, the math is simple: add the points you earned, divide by the total possible points, and multiply by 100. A score of 42 out of 50 is 42 ÷ 50 × 100 = 84%.
For a single test, open the “Test grade” tab in the calculator above and enter the points you earned and the total points. When a course has several tests, quizzes, and assignments that count differently, a single-test average is not enough — use the weighted grade calculator at the top of this page so each score counts exactly as much as your syllabus says it should.
Want to know your grade point average? Open the “GPA calculator” tab in the calculator above. Enter each course, pick the letter grade, and add the credit hours — this GPA calculator instantly computes your semester GPA on the standard 4.0 scale.
Example: an A (4.0) in a 4-credit course, a B+ (3.3) in a 3-credit course, and an A− (3.7) in a 3-credit course give (16.0 + 9.9 + 11.1) ÷ 10 = 3.70 GPA.
Convert every weight from a percentage to a decimal, multiply each grade by its weight, and add the products. If the entered weights total less than 100%, divide the result by the total weight as a decimal to get your current grade on completed work.
That is normal when some work is not graded yet. This calculator shows both the normalized current grade and the points earned toward the full course. If all categories are included, recheck the syllabus because the weights should usually total 100%.
Use the “Final grade needed” tab. The calculation is: required final score = (desired overall grade − current grade × remaining course weight) ÷ final exam weight. Enter weights as percentages; the calculator handles the conversion.
Yes. A result above 100% means the target is not reachable under a standard 100-point final unless extra credit is available. A result below 0% means you have already secured the target even with a zero on the final.
Multiply the difference between the new score and your current grade by the assignment’s decimal weight. For example, scoring 10 points above your current grade on an assignment worth 20% raises the final course grade by about 2 points.
No. A weighted grade combines course components into one percentage. A weighted GPA adds extra grade points for honors, AP, or advanced courses according to a school’s own scale.
Multiply each course’s grade points (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0.0) by its credit hours, add those quality points, then divide by total credit hours. Use the “GPA calculator” tab above to do it instantly.
The displayed letter is a general reference: A = 90 and above, B = 80–89.99, C = 70–79.99, D = 60–69.99, and F = below 60. Your school or instructor may use a different scale, plus/minus grades, or rounding rules.
A high school gpa calculator works the same way as the GPA tab above: enter each course, pick the letter grade, and add credit hours if your school weights them. Most high schools use the standard 4.0 scale, so the tab’s result matches your transcript.
A cumulative gpa calculator averages all your semesters together instead of just one. Add every completed course — or enter each semester’s GPA with its credit hours — into the GPA tab above to get your cumulative GPA.
An unweighted gpa calculator caps every course at 4.0, while a weighted gpa calculator adds bonus points (often up to 5.0) for honors, AP, or IB classes. The GPA tab above uses the standard unweighted 4.0 scale; for weighted GPAs, check your school’s scale first.
