Grade Calculator
Add your subjects with their grade and, optionally, their weight in credits or percentage to calculate your average.
Simple average or weighted average?
The difference matters depending on your level of education:
- Simple average: all subjects count equally. Common in secondary school and sixth form.
- Weighted average: each subject has a different weight according to its ECTS credits or the percentage it represents. Common at university.
Grade scale
| Numeric grade | Classification | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 0 – 4.9 | Fail | ❌ Does not pass |
| 5.0 – 6.9 | Pass | ✅ Passes |
| 7.0 – 8.9 | Merit | ✅ Passes |
| 9.0 – 10 | Distinction | ✅ Passes |
What are ECTS credits?
The ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) is the European university standard. Each credit is equivalent to between 25 and 30 hours of student work. A 6-credit subject carries more weight in the average than a 3-credit subject.
Frequently asked questions about grade calculation
How is a grade average calculated?
A simple average adds all grades and divides by the number of subjects. A weighted average multiplies each grade by its weight, sums the results and divides by the total sum of weights.
What is the difference between a simple and a weighted average?
In a simple average all subjects count equally. In a weighted average, subjects with more credits or a higher percentage have more influence on the final grade.
What grade do I need to raise my average?
It depends on how many subjects you have and their weights. You can simulate it by adding the pending subject with different grades and seeing how your average changes.
