ACADEMIC LEDGER / 01
Calculate your current grade from assignment scores, explore weighted grading, and see what scores you may need on future assessments.
The three rows below are editable examples, not a real transcript. Extra credit is not enabled: earned points cannot exceed possible points.

Local saving is off unless you check the box. Nothing is sent to a server. These tools do not replace an institution’s official grading policy.
Weighted Grade = Σ (category grade × category weight / 100). Complete mode requires every category to have a grade and weights totaling 100% (tolerance 0.05 percentage points). Missing grades are not treated as zeros.

Ten interactive examples. Use this example loads the matching calculator on this page.
A 90% on a 10-point assignment and a 70% on a 100-point assignment are not an 80% points-based course grade.
Incorrect: (90 + 70) / 2 = 80%.
Correct: (9 + 70) / (10 + 100) × 100 ≈ 71.82%. The 100-point task dominates the total.
A 95% homework average does not count as 95% of the course if homework is only 20% of the syllabus.
Incorrect: treat every category average as equal.
Correct: multiply each category by its weight. Weighted calculator
If weights add to 80%, a “final” weighted number is incomplete.
Incorrect: silently scale 80% up to 100% without saying so.
Correct: adjust weights to 100% in complete mode, or use Mode B and call it a current estimate. Weighted calculator
An ungraded exam is not automatically 0% unless the policy says missing work scores zero.
Incorrect: drop a blank category in as 0 × 30%.
Correct: leave it ungraded and use Mode B, or wait for the score. Weighted calculator
Moving from 80% to 84% is +4 percentage points, which is a 5% relative increase of the previous grade (4/80).
Incorrect: call a 4-point rise “4% more of the course.”
Correct: name the unit. What-if planner
89.995% can display as 90.00% and still be a B if A begins at 90% unrounded.
Incorrect: round first, then pick a letter.
Correct: classify the exact value, then round only for display. Letter converter
Some schools cap A at 4.0; others give A+ 4.3. Plus/minus steps differ.
Incorrect: assume this site’s table is your registrar’s table.
Correct: compare with the published campus scale. GPA calculator
Dropped scores, curves, rounding rules, and extra credit live in the syllabus, not here.
Incorrect: treat the ledger as a transcript.
Correct: use it to understand the arithmetic, then check the course policy. About
