Grade Calculator

Multiply each category score by its weight, add the results and divide by the total weight you entered. Homework 92% at 20%, quizzes 85% at 30% and tests 78% at 20% give 18.4 + 25.5 + 15.6 = 59.5 points over 70% of the course, an 85.0% average. The table under the result shows each step.

That usually means part of the class is still ahead, such as the final exam. The calculator averages over the weights you entered, so your grade so far is correct, and the weight that is left is what the goal box uses to work out the score you still need.

Look at your syllabus. If it says something like homework 20%, tests 40%, use weighted categories. If every assignment simply has a point value and your grade is points earned divided by points possible, use total points. Many online gradebooks show which one your teacher uses.

In weighted mode, a category score over 100% raises that category. In points mode, add the extra credit points to points earned without adding them to points possible. Either way your grade can go above 100%, just as it does in most gradebooks.

Open the goal box, leave the score empty for the categories still to come and type your goal. With 85% over 70% of the course and a goal of 90%, the remaining 30% needs an average of 101.67%, so a 90 is out of reach and the best possible finish is 89.5%.

The 10 point scale by default (A from 90, D from 60). Switch to pluses and minuses or the 7 point scale in the Letter grade scale menu under Change settings; the scale's source is linked under the result. The full grading scale chart lists every percentage from 100 to 50.

A plain average treats every score the same. A weighted average multiplies each category by how much it counts, so a 70% on tests worth 50% of the class pulls your grade down more than a 70% on homework worth 10%. Gradebooks use the weighted version, which is why a run of perfect homework does not fix a bad test average. So this page also works as a weighted average calculator for any set of scores and weights; give every row the same weight and it is a plain average grade calculator.

Multiply each category average by its weight, add the results, and divide by the total weight you have used. Homework 95 at 20%, quizzes 82 at 30% and tests 78 at 50%: 95 x 0.2 + 82 x 0.3 + 78 x 0.5 = 19 + 24.6 + 39 = 82.6%, a B. The calculator shows this line with your own numbers under the result.

Your overall grade combines every graded part of the class so far. With weighted categories it is the weighted average of your category averages; with total points, divide the points you earned by the points possible and multiply by 100, so 450 out of 500 points is 90%. Enter your categories above and the overall grade updates as you type.

Yes. Use it as a course grade calculator for the whole term: your rows are saved on this device, so you can come back after each test, update one score and see the new grade. The share link keeps the same rows in the URL if you want it on another device or want to send it to a parent or tutor.
