Weights can be any positive numbers and are normalised, so they do not need to add up to 100. The result falls between the two input values.

What does this tool do?

A weighted average gives larger influences to values with larger weights. Enter two components, their values and their weights; the calculator normalises the weights and also shows the unweighted mean for comparison.

The Formula

Weighted average = (Value 1 × Weight 1 + Value 2 × Weight 2) ÷ (Weight 1 + Weight 2)

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the weights have to add up to 100?

No. The calculator divides by the total weight, so 2 and 3 behave the same as 40 and 60. Percentages are convenient but not required.

How do I include more than two components?

Combine two components at a time, or add their weighted totals first and divide by the combined weight. This version is designed for a quick two-part comparison.
