Whether the target is still within reach

Required score = (target − current × (1 − final weight)) ÷ final weight. If that comes out above 100, the target is no longer reachable, and the calculator says so rather than displaying an impossible number.

Quick Tool Overview

The Grade Calculator works out your current weighted grade from assignments and their weights, then answers the question people actually come for: what score you need on the final exam to finish with the grade you want.

About the Grade Calculator

Work out where you currently stand from your assignments and their weights, then answer the question everyone actually opens this kind of tool for: what score do I need on the final to finish with the grade I want.

Weighted grading is the source of most confusion here, because a category weight and a point total are not the same thing. Scoring 90 percent on homework worth 10 percent of the course moves your final grade by nine points at most, however many assignments that category contained. The calculator works in category weights throughout, and reports honestly when a target grade is no longer reachable rather than displaying an impossible required score without comment.

Key features of the Grade Calculator

Works in category weights

Which is how courses actually grade, rather than treating every assignment as equal.

The final exam question

Required score = (target − current × (1 − final weight)) ÷ final weight, computed for you.

Honest about impossible targets

If a grade can no longer be reached, the tool says so instead of displaying a required score above 100.

Weights need not total 100

They are normalised, so you can compute a running grade mid-semester before every category is graded.

Letter grade shown

The percentage is mapped to a letter grade on the standard scale alongside the number.
