Enter each mark out of 100 with its weighting, one item per line. The calculator combines them into one overall percentage and shows the UK degree class that percentage would fall into.
Results are estimates for planning. Check the figures before you make a financial or health decision.
How the Weighted grade calculator works
Each line needs a mark out of 100 and then a weight at the end, for example Exam 62 50. The mark must be between 0 and 100 and the weight must be above zero.
The steps are:
- Multiply each mark by its weight.
- Add those results together.
- Overall grade = sum of (mark × weight) ÷ sum of weights.
Because it divides by the total weight, your weights do not have to add up to 100. If you have only entered part of a course, the result is the average of the work marked so far, not a prediction of the final grade.
The class shown uses the common boundaries: 70% and above is a First, 60% a 2:1, 50% a 2:2, 40% a Third, and below 40% is below a pass. Universities may round, weight years differently or apply their own rules, so your official classification may differ.
Worked example
Using the default values in the calculator above:
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Marks and weights | Coursework 1 68 20 Coursework 2 74 30 Exam 62 50 |
Overall grade: 66.8%
| UK degree class | Upper second (2:1) |
|---|---|
| Total weight | 100% |
| Items counted | 3 |
Tips and common mistakes
Use the exact weights from your module handbook, and enter marks as percentages out of 100. If a mark is out of 20, convert it first, for example 15 out of 20 is 75.
If an assessment is still to come, try a few possible marks to see how the total moves, or use the Grade needed in the final calculator to work out the mark you need. Remember that many degrees weight years differently, so run each year separately and combine them using your university’s own formula. This is an estimate only.
Frequently asked questions
Do the weights need to add up to 100?
No. The calculator divides by the total weight you enter, so any consistent weights work. If they add up to less than 100, you get the average of the work entered so far.
How is the UK degree class worked out?
It uses the usual boundaries of 70, 60, 50 and 40 per cent. Your university may round up near a boundary or use a different method, so check its rules.
Can I enter a mark above 100?
No. Marks must be between 0 and 100. Convert marks out of another total to a percentage before entering them.
