Weighted Grade Calculator

Enter your grading categories - homework, quizzes, exams, whatever your syllabus lists - with each one's weight and your current average. This tool computes your real current grade, correctly weighted, even while some categories are still outstanding.

Handles categories that aren't graded yet

Your categories

Your current grade

Add at least one category to see your grade.

Once you know which category actually moves your grade, Encodr's spaced review helps you put your remaining hours where they count most.

How this differs from a simple average

A weighted grade is a sum of each category's average multiplied by its weight, not a plain average of the categories themselves - a 90% in a 15%-weighted category and an 82% in a 20%-weighted category don't average to 86%; the 20%-weighted category counts more. Leave a category's average blank if it hasn't been graded yet - the calculator only divides by the weight of categories you've actually filled in, so your current grade reflects real progress instead of assuming an ungraded category as a zero. Nothing you enter is saved or sent anywhere - it's calculated entirely in your browser.
