Our calculators use standard mathematical formulas that are commonly employed in educational grading systems. The accuracy depends on the correctness of the information you provide. Always verify important calculations with your instructor's specific grading policies.
We offer several specialized calculators to address different grading scenarios:
You can use our "What score do I need on my final" calculator. Enter your current grade, the weight of your final exam, and your desired final grade. The calculator will determine exactly what score you need to achieve on your final exam to reach your goal.
While we don't currently have a dedicated GPA calculator, you can use our grade calculators to determine your final grades for each course, which you can then use to calculate your GPA manually or with another GPA calculator.
The grade-dropping calculator lets you input all your test scores and determines which score would be optimal to drop (typically the lowest) when calculating what you need on your final exam. This is perfect for classes that allow you to drop your lowest test or assignment score.
Yes, all our calculators support weighted grading systems. Simply enter the weight of each component (tests, quizzes, homework, etc.) as a percentage, and the calculator will account for these weights in its calculations.
Instead of filling out multiple fields with numbers, you can simply type a sentence like "I have an 85% in my class so far, the final is worth 30%, and I need a B overall." Our AI will interpret this information and provide the calculation you need.
For best results, include:
Yes, our AI can interpret various grading scales including percentage-based (0-100%), letter grades (A, B, C, etc.), point-based systems, and GPA scales (0-4.0 or 0-5.0).
If the AI seems to misinterpret your input, try being more specific with your wording or use the traditional calculator interface where you can input values directly into labeled fields.
No, we do not store any of your grade information. All calculations are performed in-browser, and your data is not saved on our servers.
Yes, since we don't store your data and all calculations happen locally in your browser, your grade information remains private and secure.
Our calculators can work with percentage-based grades (0-100%), letter grades (A, B, C, D, F), and point-based systems. When using letter grades, you can specify the grade ranges that apply to your school or institution.
Absolutely. Final Grade Calculator works for all educational levels including middle school, high school, college/university, and graduate school. The AI feature adapts based on the academic level you specify.

Most final grades are calculated using a weighted average of all assignments, tests, quizzes, and exams. Each component is multiplied by its weight (percentage of the final grade), and then these weighted scores are added together to determine the final grade.
In a weighted grade system:
Our calculators assume standard grading without curves. If your class is graded on a curve, you'll need to adjust your expectations based on the specific curving method your instructor uses. For example, if grades are curved up by 5%, you might need a lower raw score than our calculator suggests.
Yes, you can use our calculators for pass/fail courses by determining what percentage or score you need to "pass" according to your institution's policy, then using that as your target grade.
