Weighted Decision Matrix Calculator (Scoring and Ranking)
Compare options against criteria that matter to you: give each criterion a weight, score every option from 0 to 10, and see each option's weighted total, average, and rank. Copy the table into a spreadsheet when you are done.
Weighted Decision Matrix Calculator (Scoring and Ranking): Each option's total is the sum of its scores multiplied by the criterion weights: with weights of 5, 3, and 2, scores of 7, 7, and 9 give 35 + 21 + 18 = 74. Dividing by the total weight, 10, gives a weighted average of 7.4 on the 0 to 10 scale. The best total is highlighted, and equal totals share a rank.

| Option | 50% | 30% | 20% | Total | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 72 · 7.2 | 3 | ||||
| 73 · 7.3 | 2 | ||||
| 74 · 7.4 | 1 |
Score each option from 0 to 10 on every criterion, and give each criterion a weight from 0 to 10 for how much it matters. The total is the sum of score × weight; the number after it is the weighted average, on the same 0 to 10 scale. The matrix is saved in this browser.
Example
Choosing between three laptops on price (weight 5), quality (3), and support (2): A scores 8, 6, 7 for 72; B scores 6, 9, 8 for 73; and C scores 7, 7, 9 for 74, so C ranks first even though it is best at only one criterion.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the weights?
Rank the criteria by importance first, then give the most important one the highest weight. If one criterion is a must-have, treat it as a filter before scoring rather than a weight.
What if two options tie?
They share a rank. Look at the criteria where they differ most, or add a criterion that captures what still separates them.
Should I always pick the top score?
Use it as a check on your judgement: if the winner feels wrong, a weight or a criterion is probably missing.
