What is a Grade Calculator?
A grade calculator is an educational tool that helps students calculate their overall grades, percentage scores, and GPA (Grade Point Average) based on individual subject marks and weights. It automatically computes weighted averages and converts numerical scores to letter grades.
Our calculator supports multiple subjects with different weightings, making it perfect for semester grades, final grades, or course assessments where different assignments or exams carry different importance in the overall grade calculation.
How to Calculate Grades and GPA
Step 1: Calculate Individual Percentages
For each subject:
Step 2: Apply Weights (if applicable)
For weighted average calculation:
Step 3: Calculate Overall Percentage
Step 4: Convert to Letter Grade
Based on standard grading scale (may vary by institution):
- A+ (Excellent): 90-100%
- A (Good): 80-89%
- B (Average): 70-79%
- C (Below Average): 60-69%
- D (Poor): 50-59%
- F (Fail): Below 50%
Understanding GPA Systems
4.0 GPA Scale (Most Common)
- A+ / A: 4.0 (90-100%)
- B: 3.0 (80-89%)
- C: 2.0 (70-79%)
- D: 1.0 (60-69%)
- F: 0.0 (Below 60%)
10-Point GPA Scale
- O (Outstanding): 10 (90-100%)
- A+ (Excellent): 9 (80-89%)
- A (Very Good): 8 (70-79%)
- B+ (Good): 7 (60-69%)
- B (Above Average): 6 (55-59%)
- C (Average): 5 (50-54%)
- P (Pass): 4 (40-49%)
- F (Fail): 0 (Below 40%)
Weighted vs Unweighted GPA
Unweighted GPA: All courses treated equally regardless of difficulty level.
Weighted GPA: Advanced courses (AP, Honors) receive additional points, often on a 5.0 scale.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my final grade?
Add up all your weighted scores and divide by the total possible weighted points. For example, if exams are worth 60% and assignments 40%, multiply each category by its weight before averaging.
What's the difference between percentage and GPA?
Percentage is the raw score out of 100, while GPA is a standardized scale (usually 4.0 or 10.0) that converts percentages to grade points. GPA makes it easier to compare performance across different courses and institutions.
Can I improve my GPA significantly?
Yes, especially early in your academic career. Each semester's grades affect your cumulative GPA. Focus on courses with higher credit hours for maximum impact, and consider retaking failed courses if allowed.
How do weighted grades work?
Weighted grades give more importance to certain assignments or courses. For example, if a final exam is worth 40% and homework 20%, the final exam has twice the impact on your grade.
What's considered a good GPA?
On a 4.0 scale: 3.5+ is excellent, 3.0-3.4 is good, 2.5-2.9 is average, and below 2.0 may require academic intervention. Requirements vary by institution and program.
How do I convert between different grading systems?
Use conversion tables specific to your institution. Common conversions: 90-100% = A (4.0), 80-89% = B (3.0), 70-79% = C (2.0), 60-69% = D (1.0), below 60% = F (0.0).
