Weighted grade

84.7

Weighted Grade Calculator

Many courses weight each kind of work differently. Enter the average in each category and its weight, and this shows the course grade.

How it works

For each category, multiply its average by its weight. Add those four results and divide by the total of the four weights. A weight of 30 counts three times as much as a weight of 10.

Weights can be percents that add up to 100, or any other numbers, since the total is divided out.

Worked example

Homework 90, quizzes 84, midterm 78 and final 88 come out to a weighted grade of 84.7.

Questions

What if each class has different weights?

Change the weights to match that class. Each course can use its own set.

Why does the weighted grade differ from a plain average?

A plain average treats every score alike. A weighted grade lets a heavy category pull the result more.

Can I add a fifth category?

This version has four. For more, fold the extra work into one of the four, or use a separate calculator for each group.
