Grade Calculator

Weighted category or item grades from earned, possible, and weight. Any letter shown uses an assumed 90/80/70/60 scale.

Your numbers

Weighted grade

Each item is earned ÷ possible, then weighted. The letter scale is an assumption.

What we assumed
  • Each item contributes (earned ÷ possible) × its weight, then results are divided by total weight.
  • The letter is from an assumed 90/80/70/60 scale. Institutions set their own cutoffs.
  • This is not a transcript and does not apply rounding policies used by a specific school.

Guide

Weighted grades from the weights you type

CostAnswer editorialIndependent calculator publisher

Each item or category contributes earned/possible × weight. A letter, if shown, uses an assumed 90/80/70/60 scale. Your syllabus may use plus/minus cutoffs or a curve this page does not know.

Weights must mean the same thing

If homework is 20% of the course, the weights you enter should sum in a way that matches the syllabus. The engine will not notice that you left out the final exam.

Questions about this calculator

What grade do I need on the final?

Only if you enter the final as an item with its weight and leave earned unknown. This page computes a weighted average of known items, not a solver for a missing exam unless you rearrange the inputs yourself.

Practical tips

  • Copy weights from the syllabus, not from memory.

Limits and caveats

  • Exact for the weights entered. Not an official transcript.

Engine notes

Rounding, versioning, and omissions that sit beside the guide rather than repeating it.

  • Weighted items. Each row is earned ÷ possible, then multiplied by its weight. The course percent is the weighted average of those ratios.
  • Letter scale. A 90, B 80, C 70, D 60 is a convenience scale shown on the result. Change the inputs; do not treat the letter as official policy.
  • GPA is separate. Course credits and 4.0 grade points belong on the GPA Calculator.
