Weighted Grade Calculator

Add your assignments, their grades, and weights to calculate your overall weighted grade.

Weighted Grade Calculator Overview

Inputs:
  • Assignment Name - The name of the assignment (e.g., Quiz 1, Midterm).
  • Grade (%) - The grade you received for each assignment (0-100).
  • Weight (%) - The percentage weight of each assignment in your overall grade.
Output:

Your overall weighted grade (%) based on the grades and weights provided.

Formula:

The weighted grade is calculated as:

Weighted Grade = Σ (Grade × Weight) ÷ Σ (Weights)

Where Σ (Grade × Weight) is the sum of each grade multiplied by its weight, and Σ (Weights) is the sum of all weights.

Example:

If you have two assignments:

  • Quiz 1: Grade = 80%, Weight = 20%
  • Midterm: Grade = 90%, Weight = 30%

Weighted Grade = (80 × 20 + 90 × 30) ÷ (20 + 30) = (1600 + 2700) ÷ 50 = 86%

Frequently Asked Questions

The Weighted Grade Calculator computes your overall grade by multiplying each grade by its weight (as a percentage), summing these weighted grades, and dividing by the total weight. For example, if you scored 90% on an assignment worth 40% and 80% on one worth 60%, your weighted grade is (90 × 0.4) + (80 × 0.6) = 84%.

A weighted grade reflects the importance of different assignments or exams in your overall course grade, where each component is assigned a percentage of the total. It’s important because it gives a more accurate picture of your performance, especially when assignments have different impacts on your final grade.

Yes, the Weighted Grade Calculator works for any grading system as long as you know the grades and their respective weights. You can input grades as percentages, points, or letter grades (if converted to percentages), and the calculator will compute the weighted average accordingly.
