What is a Grade Calculator and How Does It Work?
A course grade calculator tallies points earned across homework assignments, quizzes, projects, and examinations to compute your overall class percentage and letter grade. It divides cumulative points earned by total possible points and converts the fraction to a standard percentage score out of 100%.
Calculate your total class percentage grade by summing earned points across all tests, quizzes, and assignments, then dividing by total possible points.
Gather points earned and total possible points for each completed assignment or test.
Add all earned scores together and all total point values together.
Divide cumulative earned points by total possible class points.
Multiply by 100 to find your percentage grade and corresponding letter grade.
Total Earned = 134 points out of 160 total points. 134 ÷ 160 = 83.75%.
85 ÷ 100 = 85.00%.
Common Real-World Use Cases
Check your exact running percentage grade throughout the academic semester.
Determine how many points you need on remaining assignments to protect or improve your letter grade.
Track point-based syllabi across standard academic high school and undergraduate courses.
Easily tally and verify graded coursework totals for report cards and progress evaluations.
How This Compares
This calculator sums raw points earned against raw points possible across every assignment - it treats every point the same regardless of category. If your syllabus assigns different percentage weights to categories like homework, tests, and the final (so a test point counts more than a homework point), use the Weighted Grade Calculator instead.
This calculator totals points across an entire course. If you just need the percentage and letter grade for one single test, quiz, or exam from a correct/wrong answer count, the Exam Score Calculator is the more direct tool.
- 1Enter assignment or test names to keep track of your coursework.
- 2Input score points earned and total possible points for each entry.
- 3Click "Add Assignment" to add more tests, homeworks, or quizzes.
- 4View your total points, overall class percentage, and equivalent letter grade immediately.
- •If your class uses weighted assignment categories (e.g., Exams 50%, Homework 20%), use our Weighted Grade Calculator instead.
- •Track scores as soon as assignments are graded so you always know where you stand before finals.
