How this calculator works
The result depends on the numbers you enter and the assumptions shown below.

The explanation should show the weighted-grade formula and impossible-score warnings.

Review the inputs carefully and treat the output as an estimate. For decisions involving money, taxes, health, or security, compare the result with trusted professional guidance when needed.

Frequently asked questions

What if the required grade is above 100%?

The result should clearly show that the target is not reachable with the current weights.

Can this handle multiple remaining assignments?

Yes. A later advanced mode can add more remaining items inside the same tool slot.
