Final Grade Calculator

Enter your current grade, how much the final exam is worth, and the overall grade you want. The calculator solves needed = (target − current × (1 − weight)) / weight and tells you exactly what score you need on the final — plus a table of required scores for every common grade target, so you can see at a glance what is still within reach. After calculating, drag the what-if slider to try different final scores and watch your overall grade change live.

How much of the overall grade the final is worth.

Notes

  • If the required score is above 100%, the target is not reachable with a normal final — check whether extra credit is available or adjust the target.
  • The same formula works for any weighted assessment, not just finals: use the weight of the remaining assignment.
