How weighted grades work — the formula explained
A weighted assignment calculator converts your raw scores on individual assessments into a single course grade by applying each assessment's contribution percentage as defined in the module syllabus. Most university syllabuses split the final grade across a combination of quizzes, midterms, coursework, and a final exam — each carrying a different weight.
For example, if your midterm (30%) score is 72 and your coursework (40%) score is 85, your running weighted grade after those two components is: (72×30 + 85×40) ÷ (30+40) = (2160 + 3400) ÷ 70 = 79.4%. The final exam (30%) is still outstanding, so this is your score on completed work only — use the Grade Target field to calculate what you need on the remaining assessments to hit your target.
Frequently asked questions
The weight of an assessment is the percentage it contributes to your final grade. If your syllabus says "Midterm: 30%", that assessment counts for 30 out of 100 marks toward your final course grade regardless of how many marks the midterm paper itself was out of.
If you have not yet entered all assessments, the weights for completed assessments will sum to less than 100%. This calculator handles this correctly — it divides by the sum of completed weights only, giving you your current standing on assessed work rather than your projected final grade.
Enter your target final grade, mark the final exam row as outstanding (leave the score blank or use the target calculator). The tool calculates the minimum score required on the remaining weighted assessments to achieve your target.
This calculator handles one module at a time. For tracking multiple modules and computing your cumulative GPA from module-level grades, use the GPA & CGPA Calculator.

What Students Say
Trusted by lecturers and students across Sri Lankan universities
"I used to spend 20 minutes working out my weighted grade on a spreadsheet after every assignment. This does it instantly and the what-if calculator told me exactly what I needed on my final exam. Lifesaver."
"Finally a calculator that actually handles different weights correctly. My midterm is 30%, quizzes are 20%, and the final is 50% — I just plugged it all in and my running grade updated live."
"I share this with my students at the start of each semester so they can track their own progress against my grading breakdown. It reduces the 'what do I need on the final?' questions significantly."
"The breakdown bars make it really clear where I'm losing points. My quiz scores are dragging down my overall grade so I know to focus there. Would love a PDF export."
