Weighted Decision Matrix

List your options and what matters, give each criterion a weight, score every option — the best choice rises to the top, with the math shown.

Weights are relative (5, 3, 2 works like 50, 30, 20). Score each option from 0 to 10; empty cells count as 0.

How it works

  1. Name your criteria (price, location, quality…) and give each a weight: the higher the number, the more it matters.
  2. Name your options and score each one from 0 (worst) to 10 (best) on every criterion.
  3. Read the ranking: each option's weighted total and its percentage of the maximum possible score.
  4. Change a weight or a score to test how sure the winner is. Add or remove rows and columns any time.

What people use it for

  • Big purchases

    Compare three apartments, cars or laptops on price, size, location and running costs, with the criteria that matter most counting more.

  • Jobs and projects

    Rank job offers or project ideas on salary, growth, commute and fit, instead of going on gut feeling.

  • Team decisions

    Agree on the criteria and weights first, then score together so the choice is transparent and easy to explain.

Questions

How is the weighted score calculated?
For each option, every score is multiplied by the weight of its criterion, and the results are added up. With weights 5 and 3, scores of 8 and 6 give 5 × 8 + 3 × 6 = 58. The percentage shows that total against the maximum possible, which is the sum of all weights × 10.
What scale should I use for weights?
Any non-negative numbers work, because only their proportions count: weights of 5, 3 and 2 behave exactly like 50, 30 and 20. The page shows each criterion's share of the total so you can check it matches your priorities.
What happens with a tie or an empty score?
Options with the same total share the same rank and are all shown as winners. An empty or invalid score counts as 0 and is flagged, so a forgotten cell never silently helps an option. Scores above 10 are capped at 10.
