Project the overall course grade from completed coursework, a final exam score and its weight. Enter a known or hypothetical exam score; use Required Grade to solve backwards from a target.
Check the stated input format, calculation convention and limits before using the result.
Check the example inputs, then calculate. Your values stay in this browser.
All grades and the exam weight range from 0 to 100%; a zero exam weight leaves the coursework average unchanged.
Final Grade Calculator validates completed coursework average (%), final exam grade (%), final exam weight (%) before applying the displayed equation. All grades and the exam weight range from 0 to 100%; a zero exam weight leaves the coursework average unchanged.
Final Grade Calculator: final grade = current × (1 − weight/100) + exam × weight/100. Input definitions: current = Completed coursework average (%); exam = Final exam grade (%); weight = Final exam weight (%). Use the selected convention throughout the calculation.
Final Grade Calculator baseline input: Completed coursework average (%): 85; Final exam grade (%): 95; Final exam weight (%): 40. Output: Projected final grade = 89 %. Substitute these values into the displayed equation to reproduce the result.

Understand the calculation
This is a forward weighted average. Coursework at 80% occupies 75% of the course and an exam at 90% occupies 25%, so the final grade is 80×0.75 + 90×0.25 = 82.5%. Enter the average of the completed portion, not an already weighted contribution of 60 points; weighting that contribution again would double-count the weight.
final grade = current × (1 − weight/100) + exam × weight/100
