📊 Weighted Grade Calculator

Enter each assessment, its score, and how much it counts toward your final grade. Get your weighted average instantly — along with a breakdown showing exactly how each item contributes.

📐 Percentage mode: enter weights that add up to 100% (e.g. Midterm 30%, Final 40%, Assignments 30%). Scores are percentages out of 100.

How the Weighted Grade Calculator Works

A weighted grade is not a simple average — it reflects the fact that some assessments count more toward your final grade than others. A final exam worth 40% has twice the impact of a midterm worth 20%, even if you scored the same on both.

Formula Used

Weighted Grade = Σ(Score × Weight) ÷ Σ(Weights)

Worked Example

Assessment	Score	Weight	Contribution
Assignments	88%	30%	(88 × 30) ÷ 100 = 26.40%
Midterm Exam	74%	30%	(74 × 30) ÷ 100 = 22.20%
Final Exam	82%	40%	(82 × 40) ÷ 100 = 32.80%
Weighted Grade Average			81.40%

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a weighted grade and a simple average?

A simple average treats every assessment equally. A weighted average multiplies each score by how much it counts, then divides by the total weight. If your final exam is worth 40% and a quiz is worth 10%, the final exam has four times as much impact on your grade as the quiz.

What if my weights do not add up to 100%?

The calculator will still give you a result, but will show a warning that some weight is unaccounted for. This is useful mid-semester when not all assessments have happened yet — your average only reflects completed work.

When should I use Points Mode instead of Percentage Mode?

Use Points Mode when your course uses raw point totals rather than named percentage categories. For example, if you have a quiz worth 20 points, a midterm worth 100 points, and a final worth 150 points, enter those totals as the weights and your raw scores earned as the scores.

How is this different from the Grade Needed Calculator?

The Weighted Grade Calculator shows your current average across assessments you have already completed. The Grade Needed Calculator answers a different question: what score do you need on a future exam to reach a target final grade? Use this tool first to see where you stand, then use the Grade Needed Calculator to plan your next steps.

Can my weighted grade be different from what my university portal shows?

Yes, if your university applies rounding rules, drops lowest scores, curves individual assessments, or uses different weighting periods for terms. This calculator applies the standard weighted average formula without institutional adjustments — use it as a guide alongside your official transcript.

Weighted Grade Calculator

This weighted grade calculator helps students calculate their current academic average when different assessments carry different percentage weights. Most university and high school courses weight assessments unequally — final exams typically carry more weight than weekly quizzes, and assignments may count separately from tests. A simple average of your scores will not give you an accurate picture of your standing; only a weighted average will.

The calculator supports both percentage weight mode (where your weights should total 100%) and points mode (where you enter the maximum points available for each assessment and your raw score earned). Both modes use the same core formula: the sum of each score multiplied by its weight, divided by the total weight assigned.

Once you know your current weighted average, use our Grade Needed Calculator to find out what score you need on an upcoming exam to hit your target grade, or check our GPA Calculator to convert your percentage grade to a 4.0 GPA scale. You can also use the Percentage Calculator for quick score conversions.
