Course Total Calculator
Combine assignments, quizzes, sessional, midterm and final exams into one weighted percentage — with a live check that your weights add up to 100%.

How this calculator works
Most courses are not graded as one exam — they are graded as a bundle: assignments at 10%, quizzes at 10%, sessional at 15%, a midterm at 20%, a final at 45%. To know where you stand mid-semester, you have to add those pieces together correctly, weighting each one by its share of the course. That is exactly what this calculator does, and it double-checks your weights while it works.
The formula
Weighted course total
Component contribution = (earned ÷ out of) × weight
Course total = sum of all contributions
Each component earns a slice of the course: scoring 90% on a component worth 30% contributes 27 points to your final total out of 100. Note that the weights themselves are a claim about the course — if they add up to less than 100%, something is still ungraded or missing from your list, and the calculator says so.
A worked example
Assignments worth 30%: you earned 18 out of 20, so 90% × 30 = 27 points. Quizzes worth 20%: 8 out of 10 is 80% × 20 = 16 points. Midterm worth 50%: 28 out of 40 is 70% × 50 = 35 points. The total is 27 + 16 + 35 = 78% with all weights accounted for. Now imagine the final exam is still pending: leave its marks empty and the tool shows 78% secured so far, with the final’s weight visibly waiting.
Why weight validation matters
- Weights over 100% usually mean a component was double-counted — for example, quizzes entered once as a group and again individually.
- Weights under 100% are normal mid-semester: the missing share is simply not graded yet. The coverage bar shows exactly how much is still to come.
- Components with marks but no weight are ignored in the maths — a component only influences the total through the weight your outline assigns it.
From course total to CGPA
The weighted total is the input to everything downstream: compare it to your university’s cutoffs to know the likely letter, then carry that letter into the CGPA calculator to see the semester-level and cumulative effect. Mid-semester is the best time for this exercise — the final grade calculator tells you what the remaining weight demands, while this page tells you where you stand right now. Estimates only, of course: your instructor’s marksheet is the real record.
