How to use the grade calculator
- Choose how your class is graded: weighted categories (from the syllabus) or total points.
- For each category, enter your grade and its weight — or for each assignment, the points earned and possible.
- Read your grade and letter; if weights are missing, you see your grade so far and what’s left.
Weighted grade formula
Grade = Σ (category grade × weight) ÷ Σ weights. Weights let a teacher make tests count more than homework: a 40% test category moves your grade twice as much as a 20% homework category.
In points classes every point counts the same, so the grade is simply points earned ÷ points possible — big tests matter more only because they have more points.
