Semester Grade Calculator

The semester grade calculator at allgradecalculator.com totals every course or graded item in the semester using your own weights. Rename each row to match a course (Math, English, Physics) or use the default assignment-style names. Enter your score, the maximum, and the weight, and the calculator returns your semester grade as a percentage and a US letter grade.

Semester grade vs semester GPA

Some schools report a single semester percentage; others report a 4.0 GPA. The semester grade calculator at allgradecalculator.com handles the percentage version. For the GPA equivalent, see the GPA calculator; for cumulative tracking across multiple semesters, see the cumulative GPA calculator.

How to use it

  1. Rename each row to match your course (or graded category).
  2. Type your score and the maximum points.
  3. Type the weight: credit hours, percentage, or any consistent weight.
  4. Watch the total weight stay near 100% (the warning will tell you if it doesn’t).
  5. Read your semester grade and letter grade in the result panel.

Tips

  • Use this calculator at the midpoint of the term to see whether you’re on track.
  • Add a hypothetical row for the final exam (or the final-grade item) and try different scores to see how each shifts your overall.
  • The "what do I need" panel on the right tells you the score required on the last item to hit a target.

Frequently asked questions

How is a semester grade calculated?

Each course or category is multiplied by its weight (as a decimal), and the products are summed. The result is your weighted semester average.

Should each course be weighted by credit hours?

For a true semester GPA, yes — use credit hours as the weight. For a simple weighted percentage, any consistent weight (credit hours, percentage, or 1 for equal weighting) works.

How is this different from the GPA calculator?

The semester grade calculator returns a percentage (0–100). The GPA calculator returns a 4.0 number. Use whichever your school reports.
