Weighted Grade Calculator
Enter each category’s weight and your score to get your current weighted grade — plus the score you still need on the remaining work to hit your target.
Example: with Category 1 weight 20% · Category 1 score 88% · Category 2 weight 20% · Category 2 score 92% → Current weighted grade: 86.7%.

Learn moreHow weighted grades work
Most courses weight categories differently — exams might be 50%, homework 20%, and so on. Your grade is the weighted average: each score times its weight, divided by the total weight entered. Leave future categories at zero and use the target field to see exactly what you need on what remains.
How it’s calculated & sources
Weighted grade = Σ(weight × score) ÷ Σ(weight). Grade needed on remaining weight R = (100×target − Σ(weight×score)) ÷ R. Letter grade uses the standard US scale.
Benchmark: standard US letter-grade scale (A ≥ 93, A− ≥ 90, B ≥ 83, C ≥ 70, D ≥ 60).

Frequently asked questions
Do the weights need to add to 100?
Not while the term is in progress. The current grade uses only the weight you have entered; the target math handles the rest.
What if it says I need over 100%?
Your target is no longer reachable with the remaining weight alone — you would need extra credit.
Can I use points instead of percentages?
Use the points possible as the weight and your points earned as a percentage for the same result.
