Weighted Grade Calculator
Calculate a course grade from category grades and syllabus weights.
Grade Categories
Enter each syllabus category with its current grade and course weight.
Syllabus Tip
Use the course syllabus as the source of truth for category weights.
If your teacher shows category percentages, enter those directly. If your gradebook only shows points, use the Test Grade Calculator first to convert points into a percentage.
Your Weighted Grade
Weighted average, letter grade, and course weight context.
Category Contribution
Each row shows percentage points contributed to the full course grade.
How The Weighted Grade Calculator Works
Weighted grades combine category scores by their syllabus weights.
Multiply by weight
A category grade of 92% with a 20% weight contributes 18.4 percentage points to the full course grade.
Add contributions
The calculator adds every category contribution to show your current course contribution.
Normalize partial weights
If weights are below 100%, the displayed weighted grade is normalized across the categories entered so far.
Weighted Grade Calculator FAQ
Common questions about assignment categories and syllabus weights.
How is a weighted grade calculated?
Each category grade is multiplied by its syllabus weight. The weighted contributions are added together, then normalized by the total entered weight.
Do weights need to add up to 100%?
They can add up to less than 100% if some parts of the course are not graded yet. The calculator shows both the current weighted average and the remaining weight.
What should I enter for a category grade?
Use the percentage currently shown for that category in your gradebook, such as 88 for 88%.
