This tool is useful for university students of the UK who want to calculate their grades.Whether you are mid-term and ending your final semester, calculating by your credits and percentages, or checking one year or your full degree average.
To calculate your grades, enter your marks and credit weights. This calculator instantly tells you whether you are on track for the first, second, or third year.
Enter each credit value (of each subject, e.g., 10, 20, 30 credits) in the Weight column. Higher-credit subjects automatically count more, just like your university calculates it. There are no formulas needed — the tool does the calculations for you.
To calculate grades for a specific year, add that year's subjects and credit hours. Many students use this for Year 2 and Year 3 to track how each year is going. You can also combine years to get an overall average.
At the end of your degree, enter all your subjects to see your final grade. Enable the "target grade" feature to find out exactly what mark you need in any remaining assessments to hit a First or 2:1.
Skip the credit/weight field blank to switch the tool automatically to a simple unweighted average. It is useful when all your subjects carry equal marks.
All results are displayed as a percentage (e.g., 67.4%), making it easy to see your classification scale on a UK degree. The tool also shows a US letter grade equivalent for international context.
Enter your percentage mark (0–100) for each subject or assignment in the Mark column.
Enter the credit value or percentage of each subject. Skip the field for an equal unweighted average.
Click "Calculate Grade" and see your weighted average, degree classification, and breakdown.
A weighted university grade takes into account that not all subjects carry the same importance. Higher-credit subjects contribute more to your final grade. This is the standard formula used by most UK universities.
A second-year student has three subjects:
| Module | Mark (%) | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Data Structure | 66% | 20 |
| Databases | 55% | 10 |
| Digital Logic Design | 71% | 10 |
Weighted Average = (66×20 + 55×10 + 71×10) ÷ (20+10+10) = 64.5%
If all weights were equal or left blank, the simple unweighted average would be (66+55+71) ÷ 3 = 64.0%. The credit-weighted result is more accurate because it shows how your university actually scores your degree.
Most UK universities weight your final two years more heavily than Year 1. A common split is Year 2 counting for 33% and Year 3 counting for 67% of your final degree grade (with Year 1 counting 0%). To use this uni grade calculator for Year 2 and Year 3 separately, enter only that year's subjects. To get a combined overall result, enter all subjects of both years with their full credit values, and the calculator handles the weighting automatically.
UK universities use the following classification system for undergraduates.
| Grade (%) | Classification | Honours |
|---|---|---|
| 70 – 100% | First Class | 1st |
| 60 – 69% | Upper Second Class | 2:1 |
| 50 – 59% | Lower Second Class | 2:2 |
| 40 – 49% | Third Class | 3rd |
| Below 40% | Fail | — |
Note: Some universities use different boundaries. Always check with your institution for the exact criteria.
