Average Grade Calculator

Tracking your grades across an entire semester or year is the best way to avoid surprises when transcript season rolls around. Our Average Grade Calculator takes the mathematical guesswork out of finding your true academic standing, giving you an exact metric of your performance.

To use the calculator, begin by picking the type of grades you want to average: Percentage (like 85%), Letter Grades (like B+), or GPA points (like 3.0). You can enter them all in a single row or add a new row for each distinct assignment, test, or class.

If every grade holds the exact same weight — for example, averaging 5 pop quizzes together — simply enter your grades and check your calculated average at the bottom.

However, if you are averaging multiple full classes together, some classes matter more. A 4-credit AP Chemistry class will impact your average much more heavily than a 1-credit PE class. You can toggle on the credit/weight column to specify how heavily each grade should be factored into your final result.

As you build your list of grades, the calculator instantly updates your simple average, your weighted average, and an automatic mathematical conversion to a 4.0 GPA scale. There's no need to click a submit button or refresh the page.

If you're a teacher looking to average your entire classroom's test scores, just enter every student's score without weights to find the mean test grade. If you need a more advanced breakdown of how your class performed — including passing percentiles — use our Grade Curve Calculator.

And if you want to understand how this average impacts your permanent transcript, head over to the High School GPA Calculator. If your classes utilize weights, check out the weighted grade calculator.

To figure out your required exam scores based on your average, use the final grade calculator. Finally, if you want to estimate your total transcript based on these averages, try the semester grade calculator.
