What do you need on the final?
Use your current grade, final exam weight, and target. No login, no Canvas connection, and no data leaves this page.
The final is the only ungraded work left. If other assignments remain, use Canvas Grade Rescue inside Assignly. Not sure of your current grade? Start with the weighted grade calculator.
Final score needed
PercentA 72.5% final would bring an 82.5% current grade to an 80% course grade.
Assignly reads the grade data you choose to connect and labels projections as estimates.
How the calculation works
Your current grade covers the course weight completed before the final. The calculator solves for the score that fills the final's remaining weight.
Example: an 82.5% current grade, a final worth 25%, and a target of 80%. The other 75% of the course contributes 82.5 × 0.75 = 61.9 points, so the final must supply 18.1 of its 25 points, which is 72.5%. This is the same "grade needed" math whether the last assessment is a final exam, a term paper, or a project.
When to use Grade Rescue
Weighted categories, dropped scores, and several remaining assignments need more context than a single-final calculator can provide. Grade Rescue reads your real Canvas assignment groups after you connect with your school login and solves for every remaining score at once. For the manual version of that math, see the Canvas grade calculator.

What grade do I need on my final?

Final exam calculator vs weighted grade calculator?
This page works backward from a target to the score you need. The weighted grade calculator works forward from category weights to your current grade. Use it first if you do not know your current grade.
What if my final exam has a different weight than the syllabus says?
Use the weight from your instructor's most recent announcement or the Canvas assignment group. Instructors adjust weights mid-semester more often than syllabi are updated.
Does this calculator connect to Canvas?
No. This page uses only manual inputs in your browser. The desktop app offers automatic, source-aware tracking after you connect.
