About this tool

A simple average treats every value equally, but often some count for more — a final exam worth more than a quiz, or a large purchase weighing on an average price. This calculator handles that by letting you assign a weight to each value.

It multiplies each value by its weight, adds them up and divides by the total weight, and shows the plain average alongside so you can see the difference. Add as many rows as you need; everything runs in your browser.
