A weighted grade calculator finds your course grade when each assignment or category has a different value. A quiz may count for 10%, a project may count for 25%, and a final exam may count for 40%.
This calculator multiplies each score by its weight and then adds the results together. It gives a better course estimate than a simple average when your class uses weighted categories.
Grades are part of educational assessment. You can read more about educational assessment and how scores help measure learning progress.
To calculate a weighted grade, multiply each score by its weight. Then add all weighted values together. If the total weight is not 100%, the calculator can still show an estimated weighted average from the entered items.
Example: If quizzes are 85% with 20% weight, midterm is 78% with 30% weight, and final exam is 90% with 50% weight, the weighted grade is calculated from all three weighted parts.
A normal average treats every score equally. A weighted grade does not. It gives more importance to bigger categories like final exams, projects, or major tests.
| Type | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Average Grade | Add all scores and divide by the number of scores. | Equal-value scores |
| Weighted Grade | Multiply each score by its category weight. | Courses with weighted categories |
| Final Grade | Find the score needed on a final exam. | Final exam planning |
Here is a simple example of how weighted grades work in a real course.
| Category | Score | Weight | Weighted Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quizzes | 85% | 20% | 17.00 |
| Midterm | 78% | 30% | 23.40 |
| Final Exam | 90% | 50% | 45.00 |
| Total | -- | 100% | 85.40% |
