The Grade Calculator computes the percentage grade based on points earned out of total possible points. It provides a quick and accurate way to determine academic performance or achievement scores.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the grade formula:

Where:

• \( G \) — Grade percentage
• \( P \) — Points earned
• \( T \) — Total points possible
