Most students know their marks; what they actually want to know is “what does that make my grade — and what do I need from here?” This calculator answers both halves. You enter your course in categories — homework, quizzes, tests, projects, whatever your syllabus uses — with each category's weight and the grade you have in it. It works out your current grade as the weighted average of what you have completed, then answers the forward-looking question: set a target grade, and it tells you the score you need to average on the work that remains to reach it. Weights matter because they are how real courses are marked: a final exam worth 40% moves your grade far more than a homework set worth 5%, and a plain average of your percentages would hide that completely.
A student aiming for 85% has completed three categories. Homework carries a 20% weight and she holds 92 in it; quizzes carry 30% and she holds 84; the midterm carries 20% and she scored 78. Weighted together — (0.20 × 92) + (0.30 × 84) + (0.20 × 78) = 59.2 points out of the 70% of the course completed — her current grade is 84.6%. The final exam is the remaining 30%. To finish at 85% she needs 85 − 59.2 = 25.8 of those 30 points, which is 86% on the final — demanding but reachable, and now she knows it in October rather than the night before. Change any figure and the picture updates: that is the point of planning with the calculator instead of guessing from individual marks.
Students use it through the term to stay honest about where they stand, teachers and advisors use it in progress meetings, and parents use it to turn “how is school going” into numbers. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded or shared. Free, with no sign-up.

As a weighted average: each category's grade is multiplied by its weight, the results are added together, and the total is scaled by the weight of the work completed so far. Categories with bigger weights count for more.
It is the average score you need across the work still to come — the categories not yet graded — to finish the course at your target grade. The calculator works it out from your current standing and the weights that remain.
Then the target cannot be reached even with perfect scores on everything left, and it is better to know now: raise marks in any category still open, or reset the target to one that is achievable and plan for that.
Treat it as an accurate planning guide based on the weights and grades you enter. Always check your school or institution's own grading policy for official calculations.
