Semester Grade Calculator
What Is a Semester Grade Calculator?
Add every graded assignment from a class - homework, quizzes, exams - to see your running overall percentage and letter grade for the term, useful for checking where you stand before finals.
For Tracking Your Class Average
Useful throughout the term whenever you want to check your overall standing in a class, not just a single test result.

Tips & Tricks
- Add assignments as they're graded throughout the term rather than trying to recall every score at once near finals.
- If your class uses weighted categories instead of a simple point total, use the weighted grade calculator instead for more accuracy.
- Keep a running list of your points earned/possible somewhere (like a notes app) so updating this calculator takes seconds.
- Use this alongside the final grade calculator once you know your current standing and want to know what you need on the final.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this account for weighted categories?
No - this tool treats every point equally. If your class weights categories differently, use the weighted grade calculator instead.
Can I remove an assignment I added by mistake?
Yes, click the × button next to any assignment row to remove it.
How many assignments can I add?
As many as needed - there's no limit.
What if I don't know my final exam score yet?
Leave it out until it's graded, or use the final grade calculator to find out what score you'd need.
Is this the same as my official class grade?
It should closely match, assuming your class doesn't use weighted categories and you've entered all graded work accurately.
Can I use this for multiple classes at once?
Calculate each class separately, since each has its own set of assignments.
Does extra credit count?
Yes, include extra credit points in the 'earned' field for the relevant assignment.
What if my class rounds final grades?
This calculator shows the raw percentage - check your syllabus for your instructor's specific rounding policy.
Is my data saved between visits?
No - nothing is stored, so you'll need to re-enter your assignments each time you visit.
Is this tool free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up required.
