Grade Calculator — Weighted Grades, Final Exam & GPA
Calculate weighted course grades, final exam targets, semester and cumulative GPA, or the GPA needed to reach a goal.
Calculate a weighted course grade
Combine assignment scores and weights. Incomplete weights are normalized while minimum and maximum possible course grades remain visible.
Find the grade needed on remaining work
Use your current grade on completed work, completed course weight, and desired overall grade.
Calculate semester GPA by credits
Choose an unweighted college scale or add common honors and AP/IB boosts. Pass/fail courses stay visible but are excluded from GPA.
Project cumulative GPA after a new term
Combine your current transcript with a planned or completed semester. Credits are the weights in the cumulative average.
Find the future GPA required for a target
Solve the cumulative GPA equation for your remaining credits and immediately see whether the target is mathematically reachable.
Assignment contributions
Calculation
Grade details
Weighted grade calculator
Every assignment contributes score × weight to the course total. If entered weights are below 100%, the normalized grade describes completed work while the minimum and maximum show the full-course range.
Final grade calculator
The required remaining score is (target − current × completed share) ÷ remaining share. A result above 100% needs extra credit; a result at or below zero means the target is already secured.
Semester and weighted GPA calculator
Semester GPA divides quality points by GPA credits. College mode uses a standard 4.0 plus/minus scale. Weighted mode adds 0.5 for honors and 1.0 for AP/IB, capped at 5.0.
Cumulative and target GPA calculator
Cumulative GPA combines existing and new quality points. Target mode rearranges that equation to find the average required across future credits and checks it against your selected maximum scale.
Frequently asked questions
Do pass/fail courses affect GPA?
Pass and fail policy varies by school. This calculator excludes both P and F (pass/fail) selections from GPA credits; use the letter F when a failing grade should count as zero quality points.
How are AP and honors courses weighted?
In weighted mode this tool adds 1.0 grade point for AP/IB and 0.5 for honors, with a 5.0 cap. Your school may use a different scale.
Can a cumulative GPA change quickly?
Early credits have less inertia. As completed credits accumulate, each new semester represents a smaller share of the cumulative average.
Why can the required target GPA exceed 4.0?
The target may be unreachable on an unweighted scale given your current GPA, completed credits, and remaining credits. Increase future credits, lower the target, or choose the correct weighted scale.
Method and school policies
Results use the values entered and common US grade-point conventions. Verify plus/minus values, repeats, forgiveness, transfer credits, pass/fail rules, and weighted-course boosts with your registrar or school handbook.
