The formula

Required final = (Target − Current × (1 − w)) ÷ w, where w is the final's weight. Example: with 84% now and a final worth 30%, you need 80.7% on the final for B (83%).

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate what I need on my final?
Subtract the part of your grade you already have (current grade × (1 − final weight)) from your target, then divide by the final weight.
What if the result is over 100%?
The target is out of reach on the final alone — ask about extra credit, curves or dropped scores.
My course uses categories, not one current grade. What do I do?
Open “Work out my current grade from weighted categories”, enter each category’s weight and score, and the calculator fills in your current grade and the final’s weight.
Does Columbia use these exact cut-offs?
Typical US letter-grade cut-offs (your instructor's syllabus wins). Individual instructors and departments can set different boundaries — your syllabus is the final word.
Is this calculator free?
Yes, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
