Grade Formula
Each score contributes according to the percentage weight assigned to it.
Enter the percentage earned for each assignment, quiz, exam or category.
Multiply each score by the percentage weight assigned to that course component.
Divide total score-weight products by the total included weight.
Worked Example
| Component | Score | Weight | Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assignments | 90% | 25% | 22.50 |
| Quizzes | 80% | 20% | 16.00 |
| Midterm Exam | 85% | 25% | 21.25 |
| Final Exam | 88% | 30% | 26.40 |
Total Weight = 100%
Total Weighted Contribution = 86.15
Final Weighted Grade = 86.15%
Simple Process

Grade Guide
Our free online grade calculator helps students estimate a weighted course grade from assignments, quizzes, tests, projects, midterm exams, final exams and other graded components.
Enter the percentage score earned for each item and specify how much that item contributes to the course grade. The calculator automatically computes the weighted contribution and overall result.
A weighted grade gives different assignments, assessments or categories different levels of importance. An exam worth 40 percent of a course has more influence on the final grade than a quiz worth 5 percent.
A simple average treats each entered score equally. A weighted grade considers the assigned importance of every score or category. This distinction matters when course components contribute different percentages to the final result.
Add all graded work completed so far, enter the score for each item and provide its percentage weight. If the included weights total less than 100 percent, this calculator normalizes the result against the entered weight to estimate your current grade on completed work.
Course weights determine how strongly each assessment affects the overall result. A high score on a low-weight assignment may have less impact than a moderate score on a heavily weighted exam.
The calculator can be used by school students, college students, university students, teachers, tutors and anyone who wants to estimate a weighted percentage grade.
This calculator provides an estimate only. Always check your course syllabus and official institution policies because instructors may use dropped scores, bonus marks, curves, category rules, rounding methods or other grading adjustments.
