Grade Calculator

There are, and some are fine. The difference is what has been checked. This file was built from scratch, then every formula in it was recalculated by a separate checker that compares each result against an independently worked-out answer — 16 of them here. A template that looks right and totals wrong is worse than no template at all, and that is the usual failing of one downloaded from a search result.

It also opens with sample rows already filled in, so you can see every formula working before you touch it, and it is set up to print without fighting the page setup. No email wall, no signup, no watermark, and you can use it commercially.

Knowing your average is useful; knowing what you need on the next assessment is more useful. This Excel grade calculator lists each assessment with its weight and mark, works out its weighted contribution and grade, and keeps a running average.

Set your target overall mark and it shows how much of the course has been graded, the weight still to come and the average you need on the remaining assessments to reach your target.

Enter marks as they come back. Leave future assessments blank — the "needed to hit target" figure accounts for them.

The file opens with sample rows so you can see every formula working before you change anything. Type your own figures over them. When you need more rows, insert them inside the existing block rather than underneath it, so the totals keep covering every row.

Shaded, boxed cells below the table are settings the formulas read from. Change those first — every row that depends on them updates at once.
