Track your grades across all assignments in a course, calculate your current overall grade, and find out exactly what score you need on your next assignment to hit your target.
How to Use the Assignment Grade Calculator
In the Calculate tab, enter each assignment with the score you received and the total points possible. Your overall percentage and letter grade update instantly. Switch to What Do I Need? to enter your target grade and the point value of your next assignment — the calculator tells you the exact score required to reach your goal.
The Advanced calculator below adds multi-class tracking and category-based grading. For a full gradebook with assignment types, late penalty tracking, and statistics, scroll to the Professional tier.
Overall Grade & Score Needed Formulas
Required Score = Target% × (Current Possible + Next Max) − Current Earned
Example: Target 90%, current 229/270, next assignment is 100 pts
= 0.90 × (270 + 100) − 229 = 333 − 229 = 104 pts needed
(Not achievable — would need over 100% on a 100-point assignment)
Practical Example
Situation: You have 229/270 points (84.81%). Your next assignment is worth 50 points. You want a 90% overall.
Needed = 0.90 × (270 + 50) − 229 = 288 − 229 = 59 pts out of 50
Result: Targeting 85% instead would require only 43 out of 50 (86%).
