Common questions

Does this save my information?

No. The calculation happens in your browser and the values are not stored.

Can I use the result for official decisions?

Use it as a planning estimate, then check your institution’s grading rules or assignment instructions.

What should I do if my result looks wrong?

Check every value, unit, and weight. Empty or zero totals can make a calculation impossible.
