Grade calculator with weights
Same weighted engine as our main weighted page — this landing matches people who search “with weights.” Add homework, quizzes, exams, and a final row; mark the final as remaining if you still need a target score.
NEEDED ON FINAL

Enter numbers and calculate.
Estimated course grade: 27.6%
When to use — and when not to
When to use
Syllabus lists percents by category; you already know each category average; you want needed-on-final beside the table.
When not to
No category weights, just equal scores — grade average calculator. Only three boxes (current, weight, target) — final grade calculator.
Assumptions
Weights should aim at 100%. Partial terms normalize by the weights you entered. Remaining final row solves for needed %.
How it works
course% = Σ(score × weight) / Σ(weight)
- Add a row per syllabus category.
- Enter each category average and weight.
- Check Remaining on the final if it is not graded yet.
- Set a target course % and read needed or current course %.
Examples
HW 90 @ 25%, Midterm 80 @ 25%, Final empty @ 50%, target 85
needed on final ≈ 85%
Half the course still open.
Labs 100 @ 10%, Exams 72 @ 90%
course ≈ 74.8%
Gotchas
- Typing assignment points into a category that expects an average mixes units.
- Syllabus PDF weights can disagree with Canvas assignment groups — match the live settings.
- This is course weights, not GPA credit hours.
