Cumulative Grade Calculator
See what you still need on a final or remaining work to reach your overall target grade.
Reaching your overall grade
Enter your current cumulative grade, your target, and the weight of what’s left (e.g. the final). The tool shows the score you need.
The formula
needed = (target − current × (1 − weight)) ÷ weight, weight as a decimal.
Worked example
At 80% with remaining work worth 30% and a target of 85%: needed = (85 − 80 × 0.70) ÷ 0.30 = 96.7%.
Frequently asked questions
What do I enter for weight?
The combined share of your grade that the remaining work (or exam) counts for, as a percentage.
What if the result is over 100%?
Your target can’t be reached from the remaining work alone — adjust the target or seek extra credit.
