Add each graded item or category with its score and weight. The calculator combines them into a weighted average and warns you if the weights do not add up to 100%.

With “Normalize if total weight is not 100%” selected, the main result uses the normalized current average. With it cleared, the main result uses course points secured. The second value is the contribution to a 100-point course, not the average on completed work.

Formula-based estimate, not an AI decision.
Compare each category contribution with the gradebook weights and its normalization rule, especially for empty or dropped categories.

Normalized current average = Σ(score × weight) ÷ Σ(entered weights); Course points secured = Σ(score × weight) ÷ 100

Use the weighted average to see current course progress and to identify high-impact remaining work. If the total weight is below 100%, the result is a partial snapshot, not the final course grade.

This calculation combines only the entered scores and weights. It cannot reproduce dropped items, extra credit, hidden gradebook adjustments, category-level rounding, or an ungraded-category rule unless you adjust the entries to match that policy.
A student may have 95% on homework worth 10% and 76% on exams worth 60%. The homework looks strong, but the exam category controls more of the final grade.
Another student may know each remaining assessment weight but not the category average. Listing each remaining item separately can show whether one project matters more than several small quizzes.
Use one method at a time: either category averages with category weights, or individual assessment scores with individual weights.
If your gradebook shows points instead of weights, check whether the course actually converts points directly or later applies category weights.
Weighted grades can differ when a school drops the lowest quiz, caps late work, curves exams, rounds category averages first, or manually adjusts participation.
Check the syllabus for category weights, dropped scores, late policies, extra credit, category rounding, and whether ungraded work counts as zero.
Either works. Use categories when your syllabus groups work, or individual items when you know each weight.
The calculator shows a warning because the result may represent only part of the course.
Yes. Decimal weights such as 12.5 are supported.
Yes, if you enter the completed items and their actual weights.
