Formula Used

Weighted Grade (%) = Σ (Assessment Score % × Weight %) / Σ Weight %

Multiply each individual assignment or exam score (in percentage) by its designated syllabus weight percentage. Add the products together and divide by the total weight accounted for so far.

Example Calculation Walkthrough

Homework (20% weight, scored 90%): 18. Quizzes (15% weight, scored 80%): 12. Midterm (25% weight, scored 84%): 21. Final Exam (40% weight, scored 92%): 36.8. Final Weighted Grade = 18 + 12 + 21 + 36.8 = 87.8% (Letter Grade B+ or A-).

  4. View your overall weighted percentage and current progress towards your final course grade.

Understanding Weighted Grade Calculator in Academic Evaluation

Most college professors and high school AP/IB teachers do not calculate final grades via a simple arithmetic average. Instead, exams carry heavier weights than weekly homework assignments. Our Weighted Grade Calculator lets you enter all course components from your syllabus to see exactly where you stand and what score you need on remaining coursework.
