Use weighted mode when your syllabus says tests are 40%, homework is 20%, and so on.

Use the method in your syllabus

The same set of scores can produce a different answer under a weighted course and a points-based course.

Weighted course

Choose this when tests, homework, projects, or participation each have a stated percentage. The calculator normalizes completed work so you can see your current standing before every category reaches 100%.

Points-based course

Choose this when all points count equally. The result is total points earned divided by total points possible. Extra credit can make earned points greater than possible points.

Calculate the decision, not only the average

Each tool answers a different question. The pages are not copies with new labels.

The weighted-grade formula

A 90% test worth 40% contributes 36 points to the final course percentage. Repeat that for each item and add the contributions.

current grade = Σ(score × weight) ÷ Σ(weight)

Use the exact weights and grading scale in the course syllabus. A school can set different letter cutoffs, rounding rules, dropped assignments, and extra-credit rules.

Grade calculator questions

How do I calculate a weighted grade?

Multiply each score by its percentage weight, add the contributions, and divide by the total weight entered. The calculator does this live and shows how much course weight remains.

Should the weights add to 100%?

The complete course should add to 100%. During the term, entered completed work can total less than 100%. The current grade is normalized across the weight entered so far.

Can the calculator include extra credit?

Yes. Points mode accepts earned points above possible points. In weighted mode, scores can exceed 100%. Confirm how the instructor applies extra credit before relying on the result.

Does Grade Signal send my grades anywhere?

No. The main grade calculator saves entries in local browser storage so they remain available on that device. It does not send the grade entries to a server.
