Grade Calculator
Compute your course grade from weighted components. Drop the lowest scores, see a normalized progress grade (completed work only), your overall-to-date, and the average needed on remaining weight to hit a target. Everything runs locally in your browser.
Treat unfinished weight as not yet counted
“Overall-to-date” assumes ungraded categories are 0% (conservative). “Normalized” shows your average across only completed weights.
Needed on remaining weight: 94.29%

Results
Completed 65.00% • Remaining 35.00%- Overall-to-date: 57.00% (F)
- Progress grade (normalized): 87.69% (B+)
- Progress grade divides by completed weight only; overall-to-date counts unfinished as 0%.
- Target final grade: 90.00%
- Needed average on remaining 35.00%: 94.29%
- If required > 100%, the target isn’t reachable with the remaining weight alone.
How to Use the Grade Calculator
This free, client-side Grade Calculator computes your course grade with weighted categories (e.g., Homework 20%, Quizzes 20%, Exams 60%). Add items under each category, optionally drop the lowest scores, and instantly see your overall-to-date and normalized progress grades. Nothing is uploaded.
- Set categories: Edit names and weights so they match your syllabus. Use Add category to create more.
- Enter scores: For each item, fill earned and possible points. Use Drop to automatically remove the lowest N items within a category.
- Choose view: Overall-to-date treats unfinished weight as 0%. Turn on Normalized progress grade to see your average on completed work only.
- Target grade: Enter a target % to see the average needed on the remaining weight to reach it.
- Copy or reset: Use Copy to save your summary, or Reset to restore defaults.
Formulas
- Item %:
earned ÷ possible × 100 - Category avg %: mean of item % after dropping lowest N
- Overall-to-date %:
Σ(category avg × weight/100)for completed categories - Progress grade %:
overallToDate ÷ (completedWeight/100) - Needed on remaining:
(target − overallToDate) ÷ (remainingWeight/100)
Tips
- Make sure total weights sum to 100% (it’s okay if some categories are still empty).
- Use Drop when a syllabus allows dropping quizzes/homeworks.
- Letter grades use a common U.S. scale; instructors may vary.
