“The figures, plainly worked — a standing desk of free, no-nonsense calculators.”

The grade you are actually carrying.

Enter each assignment or exam as a grade and a weight. The desk returns your current weighted average, the total weight entered, a letter grade, and the score you still need to hit a target.

How the Weighted Grade Calculator Works

A weighted grade counts heavier items more. Each grade is multiplied by its weight, the products are added up, and the total is divided by the sum of the weights. That gives the single percentage your coursework currently averages to.

The formula

current = Σ( grade × weight ) / Σ( weight )

needed = ( target × (W + R) − Σ(grade×weight) ) / R

where W is the weight already entered and R is the remaining weight still to be graded.

The target solver

Enter the overall grade you are aiming for and the weight that has not been graded yet. The calculator returns the average score that remaining weight must earn. If it asks for more than 100, the target is out of reach; a negative figure means you have already secured it.

Letter grade scale

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the weighted grade calculated?

Each row's grade is multiplied by its weight, those products are summed, and the total is divided by the sum of the weights entered.

Do the weights have to add up to 100?

No. The weights can be any numbers; they are treated as relative. The calculator divides by whatever total weight you enter.

How do I find the score I still need?

Enter your target overall grade and the weight that is still remaining. The calculator solves for the average score that remaining weight must earn.
