Calculate a grade from points
This calculator converts raw points into a percentage. Enter the points earned and the maximum possible points. The result is useful for assignments, quizzes, laboratory work and exams.
Formula
Grade (%) = (points earned ÷ points possible) × 100
Example
If you receive 43 points out of 50, the calculated percentage is 86%. The letter-grade label shown by this tool is only a common reference scale; your institution may use different boundaries.
Why institutional rules matter
Some courses apply weighting, curves, pass/fail thresholds or special rounding. For a weighted course total, use the final-grade calculator rather than treating every assessment as equally important.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this for any exam?
Yes for a simple points-to-percentage conversion. Use your own grading scale for the official letter grade.
