Calculate your grade percentage and score needed to pass.
Grades are more than letters — they determine your academic standing, scholarship retention, and future opportunities. Our Grade Calculator helps you understand exactly where you stand in any course at any point in the semester. Enter your scores on assignments, quizzes, tests, and projects along with their weights, and you'll see your current grade and what you need on remaining assessments to hit your target.
The "what do I need on the final?" calculation alone makes this one of the most popular tools for students every semester.
Enter each assignment or category, your score, the maximum possible points (or weight as a percentage), and let the calculator compute your weighted average. To calculate what you need on a final exam, enter your current grade, the weight of the final, and your desired final course grade.
Final Exam Required Score:
Current course grades:
Homework (20% weight): 88%
Midterm 1 (25% weight): 74%
Midterm 2 (25% weight): 81%
Lab reports (10% weight): 95%
Final Exam (20% weight): not yet taken
Current weighted grade (80% of course completed):
= (17.6 + 18.5 + 20.25 + 9.5) / 0.80
= 65.85 / 0.80 = 82.3% (current)
Target: B+ (88% in this course)
Oops — a B+ is mathematically out of reach. But a B (83%) is doable: required score = (83 − 65.84) / 0.20 = 85.8% on the final. Now you know what to aim for.
