Frequently asked questions
What is the weighted average calculator used for?
Compute a weighted average of scores. It helps with questions such as “grade calculator”, “weighted mean”, “gpa”.
What is the formula for the weighted average calculation?
Weighted average = sum(v.map(function(a,i){return a × w[i]})) / sum(w). Here v is values, w is weights.
What inputs do I need for the weighted average (gpa) calculator?
You need values, weights. Each field is pre-filled with a typical example so you can see how the result responds as you edit the numbers.
How do I use the weighted average calculator?
Type values into the input fields. Results and the chart update instantly. Use Reset to restore the example values, Copy results to paste them elsewhere, or Share to copy a link that preserves your inputs.
Is the weighted average result exact?
Calculations use standard formulas and double-precision arithmetic, then display about seven significant figures. Real-world measurements carry uncertainty, so treat results as estimates unless your inputs are exact.
