Calculate a weighted mean from values and their relative weights.

Fill in the values

Follow the labels. Your answer updates as you type.

THE MATH

Add (each value × its weight), then divide by total weight.

Add each value and how much it should count.

A larger weight gives a value more influence.

What this tool helps you find

Enter each value and its weight. Values with larger weights influence the result more; all weights should use the same scale.

Formula

Weighted average = sum(value × weight) ÷ sum(weights).

Worked example

Scores 80 and 90 weighted 1 and 3 average to 87.5.

Common mistake

A weight describes how much a value counts, not another score to average. Rows with zero weight should not affect the average.

When to use it

Combine assignment scores with different grading weights or summarize measurements with different importance.

Questions and answers

Can weights be percentages?

Yes, as long as the weights are on a consistent scale.

Can weights be zero?

Zero weight excludes a row from the average; the total weight must be above zero.
