Weighted Grade Calculator
Combine assessment scores by weight.
Understanding Weighted Grade Calculator
A weighted grade combines assessments according to their assigned contribution to the final result. A short quiz worth ten percent should not count as much as an examination worth sixty percent merely because both are reported out of one hundred. Enter each assessment score as a percentage and its official weight as a percentage of the complete course. This calculator requires the entered weights to total one hundred, making it suitable for a complete assessment plan. It multiplies each score by its weight, sums the products and divides by the total weight. This calculation differs from simply averaging scores, which would treat every assessment equally. If only some assessments are complete, use the final grade tool to project the remaining exam, or explicitly normalize a partial plan according to your institution's policy. Check whether practical work, participation or an internal assessment has already been included in another component before adding separate rows.
Weights must represent one complete assessment scheme. Scores are bounded from 0 to 100; extra-credit schemes need separate institutional handling.
Formula
Weighted score = sum(score × weight) ÷ sum(weights), with weights totaling 100%
Worked example
80% at 40% weight and 90% at 60% weight gives (3200 + 5400)/100 = 86%.
Frequently asked questions
What does this calculator measure?
Combine assessment scores by weight. Weighted score = sum(score × weight) ÷ sum(weights), with weights totaling 100%
How do I check a result?
80% at 40% weight and 90% at 60% weight gives (3200 + 5400)/100 = 86%.
Which values should I enter?
Add each assessment score and weight. Confirm weights total 100%, then calculate.
What limits should I consider?
Weights must represent one complete assessment scheme. Scores are bounded from 0 to 100; extra-credit schemes need separate institutional handling.
