About the Grade Calculator

List each graded item on its own line with your score and its weight, for example “Midterm 78 25”. The calculator gives your current grade, the letter it corresponds to and how much of the course is still to come.

Most courses weight categories differently: homework might be 20% and the final exam 30%. Your current grade is the weighted average of what's been graded so far, so a low score on a heavily weighted exam matters more than one on a small quiz.

The formula

Grade = Σ(score × weight) ÷ Σ weights

Worked example

Homework 92 (20%), quizzes 85 (15%), midterm 78 (25%), project 88 (15%)

Weighted points: 18.4 + 12.75 + 19.5 + 13.2 = 63.85
Weights so far: 75%
Current grade = 63.85 ÷ 75 = 85.13%, a B

Things to keep in mind

Letter grades use the common US scale; your syllabus may use different cut-offs.
