Weighted Grade Calculator
Enter up to four components with scores and weights to get a weighted average.
Weighted average grade
Modules and coursework rarely share equal weight. A weighted grade multiplies each score by its weight, sums the products, and divides by total weight (or uses weights that already add to 100%). This calculator combines several components so you can see your running course mark before the final exam. If you still have a remaining weighted assessment, continue with final grade needed to target a classification. Syllabus weights win over guesswork from friends on the group chat. Pass marks, compensation rules and capped resits are institutional policy outside the pure average. Enter percentages consistently — do not mix raw marks out of 40 with percentages unless you convert first. Keep a copy of the weighting table from the handbook beside your running total so a coursework re-mark does not scramble the story. Planning aid only — not an official transcript or appeals document.
Worked example
Coursework 70% at 40% weight, midterm 65% at 20% weight, project 80% at 40% weight: weighted mark = 0.4×70 + 0.2×65 + 0.4×80 = 28 + 13 + 32 = 73%. If the final exam is 30% of the course and you want 70% overall, use the final-grade tool with your real remaining weight.
Limits and assumptions
Assumes linear weighted averages. Grade curves, pass/fail gates and non-numeric assessments are not modelled. Not registrar advice.
Frequently asked questions
Do weights need to add to 100%?
They should represent the full assessment structure. If they add to 1.0 or 100, the weighted mean is straightforward.
Can I mix marks out of different totals?
Convert each to a percentage first, then weight.
How do I plan for a final exam?
Use final grade needed with your current weighted mark and remaining weight.
What if one component is missing?
Either omit it and renormalise weights, or treat it as the remaining portion in the final-grade tool.
Are letter grades supported?
Convert letters to the percentage midpoints your institution publishes, then weight.
