Final Grade Calculator

Free final grade calculator: enter your current grade, the final exam weight and the grade you want, and see the score you need on the final. No signup.

Free, and no account is needed. The calculation happens instantly on the page.

How it works

  1. Enter your current grade in the class as a percentage.
  2. Enter how much the final exam is worth (its weight, from the syllabus).
  3. Enter the course grade you want: the calculator shows the score you need on the final, and a what-if box shows where any final score leaves you.

The formula

Course grade after the final = current grade x (1 - final weight) + final score x final weight.

So the score you need on the final = (target - current x (1 - final weight)) / final weight.

Example: you have 85%, the final is worth 20% and you want 87%: (87 - 85 x 0.8) / 0.2 = 95% on the final. A target of 90% would need 110%, which is out of reach without extra credit.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need on my final to get an A?

Enter your current grade, the final's weight and 90 (or 93, depending on your school's A cut-off) as the target; the calculator shows the score you need.

How much will my final exam affect my grade?

By its weight: a final worth 20% moves your course grade by 0.2 points for every point you score above or below your current grade.

What if I need more than 100% on the final?

Then that target is out of reach on the final alone. Try a lower target, or ask whether there is extra credit.
