Work out Weighted Grade. Ungraded categories are left out, not counted as zeros. Shows the working, not just the answer.
Grade so far
82.3%
B− · 2.7 grade points · out of the 65% graded so far
Categories with nothing in them are left out of the average rather than counted as zeros. Set the final's total to 0 until you sit it, and this reports your standing across the work that has actually been marked — which is the number you want when deciding how hard to revise. That is the difference between this and most grade calculators. Dividing by the full course weight before the final has happened reports a grade that no student has ever actually held, and it panics people for no reason. Letter bands vary between institutions, particularly at the plus and minus boundaries and around the pass mark. Check your syllabus before treating the letter here as final.
How the Weighted Grade Calculator works
Work out your grade across weighted categories, with anything not yet marked excluded from the average rather than dragged in as a zero. Leave the final's total at 0 until you sit it, and this reports where you actually stand.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a weighted grade?
Take each category's percentage, multiply by its weight, add them up and divide by the total weight used. The division is the step people skip, and it is why grades come out wrong when some categories are still empty.
What happens to categories I have no marks in yet?
They are excluded and the remaining weights are renormalised. A final worth 40% that has not happened contributes nothing rather than 40% of zero, which would report a grade you have never actually held.
Why does my school's number differ from this?
Usually a policy this cannot know about: dropped lowest scores, curves, extra credit, or rounding rules at the letter boundaries. Check the syllabus for those before treating any calculator as authoritative.
Do the weights have to add to 100?
Not for the arithmetic to work — the result is normalised over whatever weights you enter. But if they do not sum to 100 in your syllabus, one of the numbers is probably wrong.
Is a 3.0 GPA the same as a B?
On the common four-point scale, yes: 3.0 grade points corresponds to a B, roughly 83-86%. Plus and minus grades map to 3.3 and 2.7, and the percentage boundaries vary between institutions.
