Weighted Grade Calculator by TheCalcTools

How the Weighted Grade Calculator works

Enter each score and the weight of that assessment in the course.

The tool multiplies each score by its weight, adds them and divides by the total weight.

Leave unused rows at weight 0.

The formula

Grade = Σ(score × weight) ÷ Σ(weight)

Worked example

Using the default values shown in the calculator:

Score 1 (%)88 %
Weight 1 (%)20 %
Score 2 (%)76 %
Weight 2 (%)20 %
Score 3 (%)92 %
Weight 3 (%)30 %
Score 4 (%)81 %
Weight 4 (%)30 %
Score 5 (%)0 %
Weight 5 (%)0 %
  1. (88×20 + 76×20 + 92×30 + 81×30) ÷ 100 = 84.70%.
  2. Total weight entered: 100%. Letter grade: B.

Result:

Weighted grade84.70%
Total weight entered100%
Letter grade (US scale)B

Frequently asked questions

Do the weights have to add up to 100?

No. The calculator divides by the total weight, so it works for partial results, for example mid-semester.

Why is my grade not a plain average?

Weighted grades give bigger assessments, like exams, more influence than small ones, like quizzes.
