Grade Calculator

Grade Calculator

Enter earned and possible points for up to five graded items to calculate your combined percentage and a reference letter grade.

Calculate a grade from earned and possible points

Grade calculation formula

Percentage grade = total earned points / total possible points x 100. This page's reference letter grade uses a common 97/93/90 scale, which may differ from a course's official scale.

Combined percentage

Divides all entered earned points by all entered possible points.

Reference letter

Maps the percentage to the displayed common letter scale.

Point totals

Shows the combined earned and possible points for an audit trail.

How to calculate a grade from points

Enter the points earned and points possible for each completed item. The calculator adds the earned points, adds the possible points, then divides the two totals to produce one percentage. This point-total approach is useful only when each point has the same course value or when your instructor has already converted categories into comparable points.

A percentage and a letter grade are not always interchangeable. This page shows a common letter-grade reference scale, but many schools use different cutoffs, plus/minus policies, pass/fail marks, curves, or rounding rules. Treat the letter output as a check, then use the syllabus or official gradebook for the course rule.

Do not enter category percentages into this points calculator unless their possible-point values reflect the intended weighting. When homework, tests, labs, and a final each have separate syllabus weights, use the Weighted Grade Calculator instead. For an upcoming final target, use the Final Grade Calculator.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate my grade from points?

Add all earned points, add all possible points, divide earned by possible, then multiply by 100.

Can I use this for weighted categories?

Use it only when the point totals already reflect category weights. Use the Weighted Grade Calculator for separate category percentages and weights.

Why does the letter grade differ from my school?

Schools may use different cutoffs, curves, rounding, or policies, so use the official scale.

Can the percentage be above 100%?

Yes, when entered earned points include extra credit or exceed the entered regular possible points.
