How this works
How the weighted grade calculator works
Each score is multiplied by its weight. The calculator adds those weighted scores together and divides by the total weight entered. If the total weight is 100%, the result is your current weighted course grade.
Quick example
A score of 90 with a 20% weight contributes 18 percentage points toward the overall grade.

FAQ
Common questions
What if weights do not add to 100%?+
If the entered weights are under 100%, the result may only describe the portion entered so far. If they are over 100%, check for duplicate or incorrect entries.
Can I enter categories instead of assignments?+
Yes. You can enter categories like exams, homework, labs, projects, or participation.
Is weighted grade the same as final grade?+
Not exactly. Weighted grade estimates your current overall grade from weighted parts. Final grade calculators solve what you need on a future final.
