Final Grade Calculator
This calculator estimates course grades only. Your school's weighting and rounding policies may differ.
How the Final Grade Calculator Works
Your overall course grade is a weighted average of your current performance and your final exam score. This calculator supports two modes. In Calculate Overall mode, enter your current grade, coursework weight, and expected final exam score to see your final course grade before grades are posted. In What Do I Need mode, set a target grade and the tool tells you the exact score required on the final to reach it.
Teachers and students alike use this to plan study strategies. If you need a 94% on the final to maintain an A, you can allocate extra study time to that subject. The math uses the standard weighted grade formula: overall = (current × weight) + (final × (1 − weight)).
When To Use Each Mode
- Calculate Overall — Use this when you know your final exam score and want to predict your course grade. Helpful right after finishing an exam.
- What Do I Need — Use this before the final to set a target. Enter your desired course grade and the calculator shows the exam score needed to get there.
- Check multiple scenarios — Adjust the final exam weight and target grade to see how different outcomes affect your overall grade. Great for study planning across multiple classes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my overall course grade?
Enter your current grade percentage, the weight of your remaining coursework, and your final exam score. The tool computes your weighted overall grade automatically. For example, if your current grade is 85%, coursework is worth 20%, and you score 90% on the final, your overall grade would be 86%.
What does the "what do I need on my final" mode do?
This mode works backward from your target grade. Enter your current grade, the weight of the final exam, and your goal percentage. The calculator tells you exactly what score you need on the final to reach your target. If a 92% target requires a 98% on the final, you will know to study harder before test day.
How does final exam weight affect my grade?
The higher the final exam weight, the more impact it has on your overall grade. A final worth 10% of your grade will move your final grade less than one worth 40%. This calculator handles any weight percentage so you can plan accordingly.
