Final Grade Calculator: Find What You Need on Your Final Exam
A free grade calculator that tells you exactly what score you need on your final exam — or works out your current grade average in seconds.
How to calculate your final grade
The same three numbers behind the calculator above — here's how they fit together.
Find your current grade
Add up everything graded so far — assignments, quizzes, midterms — as a percentage of the course completed before the final.
Check the final's weight
Your syllabus lists how much the final exam counts toward your overall grade, usually somewhere between 15% and 40%.
Solve for the final
Decide the overall grade you're aiming for, then work backward to find the exact score needed on the final to reach it.
What if I get a ___ on my next assignment?
See exactly how one more test or assignment will move your overall grade average — before you even take it.
What letter grade is your percentage?
Type in any percentage to see its letter grade on a standard Canadian university scale.

This is a general Canadian percentage scale used as a reference — always check your course syllabus for your school's official breakdown.
Frequently asked questions
Semester grades, midterms, GPA, and everything else students ask us.
Yes. The math is identical — just enter your midterm's weight instead of the final's in the "Grade I Need" calculator, or list every assessment so far in "Overall Average" to get your current semester grade.
Not directly — this calculator works in course percentages, not GPA points. Use the percentage-to-letter-grade section above to convert your result into an approximate GPA equivalent for a single course.
Yes — the formula behind the calculator is the standard weighted-average method used across Canadian colleges and universities. The only thing that varies by school is the letter-grade scale, which we've noted as a general reference.
Totally normal mid-semester. The overall average calculator normalizes by the weight you've actually entered, so your average reflects only the work completed so far — not the whole course.
Switch to the "Overall Average" tab above, add every graded assignment, test, or component you have so far with its score and weight, and your current grade updates instantly as you type.
