Examples
Tracking Semester Progress
Enter your quiz (20%), midterm (30%), and homework (15%) grades to see your current standing before the final exam.
Final Exam Goal Setting
If you have 75% going into a 40%-weighted final and want a B (80%), calculate that you need 87.5% on the final.
Comparing Assignment Impact
See how improving a 5%-weighted homework vs a 25%-weighted project affects your overall grade differently.
Compared to alternatives
Weighted vs Unweighted Grades
Unweighted grades treat all assignments equally. Weighted grades account for different assignment values (e.g., a final exam worth 40% vs homework worth 10%). This calculator handles weighted grades for accurate results.

Grade Calculator vs Percentage Calculator
The Percentage Calculator solves general percentage math (e.g., 'what is 85% of 200?'), while this Grade Calculator specifically handles weighted academic grades across multiple assignments with letter grade conversion.
Use this section to compare purpose, output, and the best-fit tool for the task.
GPA vs Percentage Grade
GPA uses a 4.0 scale (A=4.0, B=3.0, etc.), while percentage grades use 0-100. Most US colleges use GPA, while many international systems use percentages. This calculator shows both percentage and letter grade equivalents.
