How the grade calculator works

Calculate the current percentage and letter grade from earned and possible points. Optionally enter the final exam's course weight to estimate the score needed to reach a selected overall letter grade.

Method and assumptions

Figur divides earned by possible points for the current percentage and uses 90/80/70/60 cutoffs for A/B/C/D. When a final is supplied, it solves for the needed percentage using that weight.

  • The letter scale is 90/80/70/60; rounding policy, extra credit, and weighting are excluded.
  • The current percentage represents all pre-final coursework when a required score is calculated.
  • The final-exam weight is interpreted as a percentage of the entire course.

Personal academic estimate, not an official academic record. Your school or instructor's scale, weights, repeats, and policies control.

Worked example

You have 84 of 100 points, the final is worth 25%, and you want an A.

Your current grade is 84.00% (B); you need 108% on the final, so an A is not reachable without extra credit.

Frequently asked questions

What grading scale is used?

Current and target letter grades use a standard 90/80/70/60 percentage scale for A/B/C/D; grades below 60 are F.

Why might the needed final score exceed 100%?

The target may not be mathematically reachable with the remaining exam weight under this scale.
