How to use Weighted Grade
Calculate a weighted average from scores and weights.
- Choose the operation and enter every labeled input, keeping units and the time period consistent.
- Calculate, compare the worked example below and inspect any warnings.
- Change one assumption to compare another scenario; keep the model’s limits in view.
Formula & calculation method
Weighted grade = sum(score × weight) ÷ sum(weights). Scores use a 0–100 scale; weights are relative and are normalized by their total.

These labels describe the calculation’s base units. Supported measurements can switch through the header’s region settings; follow the current workspace labels. Prefilled values are examples.
- One score,weight pair per line
- Use the format shown in the worked example; review separators and every row.
A quick example
80,40 and 90,60 give a weighted grade of 86.
Assumptions, edge cases & limits
- The total weight must be greater than zero.
- Course-specific letter grades, dropped scores and rounding policies are not inferred.
- Does not infer a letter grade or institution-specific grading policy.
Questions about Weighted Grade
Must my grade weights add up to 100?
No. The calculator divides by their actual sum, so 4 and 6 have the same relative effect as 40 and 60. Check that your intended course categories are represented.
Is a missing assignment automatically counted as zero?
No. Only rows you enter are included. If the syllabus counts a missing assignment as zero, include its score and weight explicitly.
Are my files or inputs uploaded?
Calculation and file processing run in your browser without a processing upload. Downloads go to your device. Choosing a next-step transfer creates a temporary local copy for that workflow. Region preferences are stored separately from tool inputs. See our privacy details.
Can I use this tool for free?
Yes. No signup, subscription or payment is required to use the tool or download its output. File tools have device and size limits; a smaller batch may work better on a phone.
