Calculate a weighted average from value and weight pairs, then review total weight, weighted sum, and simple average.
Calculate a weighted average
Calculate a weighted average from values and weights. Enter pairs to get the weighted mean instantly.
Combine values with different weights in one focused calculation
Use this weighted average calculator when some values should count more than others. Enter one
value, weight pair per line to calculate the weighted average, total weight, weighted sum, and a
simple average for comparison.
Enter value and weight pairs to calculate the weighted average.
Weighted average result
Review the weighted average first, then compare the total weight, weighted sum, and simple average.
Enter value and weight pairs to calculate a weighted average.
The weighted average will appear here as soon as the pair list is valid.
How to use the weighted average calculator
- Enter one value and weight pair per line.
- Separate each value and weight with a comma or spaces.
- Review the main result to see the weighted average instantly.
- Use the supporting cards to compare the pair count, total weight, weighted sum, and simple average.
- Use Example to load a sample set of weighted values or Clear to reset the calculator.

What is the weighted mean of 80, 90, and 95 with weights 0.2, 0.3, and 0.5?
What this weighted average calculator covers
This tool calculates a weighted average from paired value and weight inputs. It also shows the total weight, weighted sum, and the simple average of the values so you can compare the weighted result with the standard arithmetic mean.
Weighted average example result
Input: 80, 0.2 90, 0.3 95, 0.5
Result: Weighted average = 90.5
This kind of worked example is useful when you want to check the weighted mean formula against a real answer instead of only reading the definition.
When a weighted average calculator is useful
A weighted average calculator is useful for grades, portfolio allocations, survey scoring, product ratings, performance metrics, and any situation where some values should contribute more heavily than others. Instead of multiplying and dividing by hand, you can enter the pairs and get the weighted mean instantly.
Weighted average vs simple average
A simple average gives every value the same importance. A weighted average gives each value a different influence based on its weight. When categories, percentages, or importance levels are not equal, the weighted average is usually the better measure.
Weighted average calculator FAQs
What format should I use for the input?
Enter one value and weight pair per line. Each line should contain exactly two numbers, such as 80, 0.2 or 90 0.3.
Can the weights be decimals?
Yes. Decimal weights are supported, including values such as 0.2, 0.35, and 0.5.
What happens if all weights are 0?
The calculator will ask you to use a total weight greater than 0, because a weighted average cannot be computed when every weight is zero.
