What Grade calculator does

A grade calculator that supports percentage, letter, and point systems for individual assignments or entire courses. Users input scores and their respective weights to determine a weighted average, final course grade, or the additional grade needed to reach a target. The RapidTables version offers a straightforward interface with clear grade type selectors and a dedicated "additional grade needed" field for planning purposes. It separates final grade and GPA functions into distinct sections, allowing users to switch between calculating a cumulative average or determining what score is required on a final exam to achieve a desired overall grade.

Questions

Grade calculator FAQ

Can this calculator handle weighted categories like labs, exams, and homework separately?
Yes, users can add multiple rows to input different assignment types with individual grades and weight percentages, allowing the tool to compute a combined weighted average.
What if my assignment weights don't add up to 100%?
The calculator will still compute a weighted average based on the entered percentages, but the result may not reflect the intended final grade distribution unless weights total 100%.
How do I find out what score I need on my final exam to get an A?
Use the 'Additional grade needed' section by entering your current average, the weight of the final exam, and your target grade; the tool will calculate the required final exam score.
Does the tool support letter grade inputs directly?
Yes, users can select 'Letters' as the grade type and input standard letter grades (A, B, C, etc.), which the calculator will convert and factor into the weighted average.
