Required Marks Calculator example
Work already graded: Quiz 1, 10, 80; Assignment, 20, 72; Mid-term, 30, 65
Target final grade: 70 %
Weight still to come: 40 %Score needed in the rest of the course: 70.3%
Points earned so far: 41.9 of 60
Average on graded work: 69.8%
Weight still to come: 40%
Best possible final grade: 81.9%How it is calculated
Each graded item contributes weight × score ÷ 100 points. The remaining weight is whatever is left of 100% unless you set it. The score needed is (target − points so far) ÷ remaining weight × 100.
Points so far = Σ (weight × score) ÷ 100Score needed = (target − points so far) ÷ remaining weight × 100Best possible final = points so far + remaining weight
What to enter
- Work already graded. One per line: name, how much it counts towards the final grade (weight %), and your score (%) on it.
- Weight still to come. Blank = whatever is left of 100%.

Required Marks Calculator FAQ
How does the required marks calculator work?
Each graded item contributes weight × score ÷ 100 points. The remaining weight is whatever is left of 100% unless you set it. The score needed is (target − points so far) ÷ remaining weight × 100.
What does a result above 100% mean?
The target can no longer be reached, even with a perfect score on everything still to come. The page also shows the best possible final grade.
Do weights have to add up to 100%?
Completed plus remaining weight must not exceed 100%. If you leave the remaining weight blank it is taken as 100% minus the completed weight.
Is this required marks calculator free and private?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and the calculation happens on your device, so your numbers are never sent to a server.
