Weighted Grade Calculator

Calculate your overall grade from categories with different weights, such as homework, quizzes, a midterm and a final.

Overall grade
Letter
Total weight

Each category contributes its score times its weight. If the weights add up to 100, the result is your final grade; if not, the tool divides by the total weight so it still works.

Frequently asked questions

How is a weighted grade calculated?

Each category's score is multiplied by its weight, the results are added up, and the total is divided by the sum of the weights. A category worth 35% therefore affects your grade far more than one worth 10%.

Do the weights have to total 100?

Ideally yes, and the tool shows the total so you can check. If they do not add to 100, it still divides by the actual total so the result stays sensible, which is handy when you are partway through a course.

Can I see what I need on a remaining category?

For a single remaining exam, the final grade calculator is the quicker tool. Use this one when you want the overall grade from several completed categories.
