See how a missing zero, partial-credit makeup or policy cap changes your grade in points or weighted mode, then solve the score needed to reach a target.

Grading scales, rounding, retake rules, missing-work policies, extra credit, and category weighting vary by school and course. Match the calculator settings to the syllabus or gradebook policy.
Compare zero, makeup, policy-cap and target-grade outcomes
Switch between pure points and weighted-progress grading. Model several equal missing assignments at once, keep the late-work cap separate from the score you hope to earn, and solve the recovery score without hiding an impossible target.

Ready to compare a missing zero with recovery scenarios.
Weighted-progress boundary. “Weight already graded” is the portion of the course currently represented by the entered normalized grade. The calculator adds the missing-work weight to that counted denominator. If your school uses category-level weights, dropped grades, excused work, replacement policies, extra credit or special rounding, mirror those rules or verify the result against the official gradebook.
Target-grade what-if solver
Solve the score needed on the missing assignment to reach a chosen overall percentage and immediately see whether that target is feasible.

This solver uses the point totals above. Weighted categories, dropped grades, late penalties, retakes, and excused work can change the official gradebook result.
Syllabus integrity & scenario-envelope audit
Independently rebuild the current grade/GPA scenario from the visible inputs, check denominator or weight completeness, and show feasible outcome boundaries. This is a planning cross-check, not a replacement for the school’s official gradebook policy.

Match the gradebook model before trusting the target
Separate question-count tests, pure points, weighted categories, final-exam weighting and GPA scales. Then reconcile the calculator with the syllabus rule actually used by the class.
How to use this Missing Assignment Grade Calculator
Enter the current point total before the missing assignment, the missing assignment’s possible points, and any makeup or partial-credit points. Compare before, zero, and recovery states.
Accuracy and limits
This is a pure points-based scenario. Weighted categories, dropped scores, excused work, late caps, and gradebook-specific missing-work rules can produce different official results.
