Overall Grade
0%What This Grade Calculator Does
This tool calculates your overall course grade using a weighted average system. Enter each assignment, test, or exam along with its score (as a percentage) and its weight toward your final grade. The calculator instantly computes your current overall grade and shows the corresponding letter grade based on a standard 10-point scale.
How to Use the Grade Calculator
Start by entering the name of each assignment or exam. Enter the score you received as a percentage. Enter the weight of that assignment toward your final grade. Add as many rows as needed using the "Add Assignment" button. The overall grade updates automatically as you type.
Pro Tip: Make sure all your assignment weights add up to 100% for an accurate final grade. If they don't, the calculator will still work but the result may not match your actual course grade.
Overall Grade = Σ (Score × Weight) ÷ Σ Weight
Each assignment's score is multiplied by its weight, summed, then divided by the total weight.
Grade Scale Reference
This calculator uses the standard 10-point grading scale:
- A 90–100%

- C 70–79%
- D 60–69%

Why Weighted Grades Matter
Most courses don't treat every assignment equally. A final exam is usually worth more than a homework assignment, and that's where weighted grades come in. This calculator helps you understand exactly where you stand in your course, so you can focus your study efforts on the areas that matter most for your final grade.
Frequently Asked Questions
The calculator will still compute a weighted average based on the weights you enter, but the result may not match your actual course grade. Always check your syllabus for the correct weight breakdown and make sure your weights sum to 100% for accurate results.
