Weighted Grade Calculator
Calculate your overall grade when your syllabus uses weighted categories such as Homework, Quizzes, Projects, Midterm, and Final Exams.
Weighted Grade Calculator
Calculate your grade based on weighted categories (e.g. Homework 20%, Tests 50%, Final 30%).
Understanding Weighted Grading Systems
In high school and college courses, teachers frequently assign different percentage weights to distinct categories of work. This ensures that major exams carry more weight than daily homework exercises.
Weighted Grade = [ (Score1 × Weight1) + (Score2 × Weight2) + ... + (Scoren × Weightn) ] ÷ (Total Weight)
Example Category Breakdown Table
| Category | Category Score | Weight % | Weighted Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Homework & Labs | 95.0% | 20% (0.20) | +19.00% |
| Quizzes | 80.0% | 15% (0.15) | +12.00% |
| Midterm Exam | 86.0% | 30% (0.30) | +25.80% |
| Final Exam | 92.0% | 35% (0.35) | +32.20% |
| Total / Overall | - | 100% | 89.00% (Grade B+) |
How Weight Normalization Works Mid-Semester
If you are checking your grade in the middle of a semester and have only completed Homework (20%) and Midterm (30%) for a total of 50% completed weight:
Normalized Grade = (19.0% + 25.8%) ÷ (0.50) = 44.8 ÷ 0.50 = 89.60%
Our tool automatically handles this normalization so your current grade always reflects your true classroom standing.
