Why did I get this score?
The feedback below uses the final score, criterion weights, and your QA / Coaching Notes. It is a general coaching aid, not a substitute for your organization's official coaching policy.
Briefly describe the reason for contact, what happened, actions taken, and the outcome. Avoid unnecessary personal or confidential information.
Criteria are ranked by weighted points lost. The cumulative percentage helps identify which areas account for most of the score loss.
General-purpose utility only. Your organization's official QA scorecard, calibration rules and critical-error policy should always take precedence.

How Your BPO QA Score Is Calculated
A final QA score combines the results of individual criteria according to their assigned weights. Consistent scoring rules help QA teams evaluate interactions fairly and explain the results clearly.
Apply Criterion Weights
Each criterion contributes according to its assigned weight and the score awarded. When the weights total 100%, a criterion weighted at 25% and scored 4 out of 5 contributes 20 percentage points to the final score.
Handle N/A Items Consistently
Mark a criterion N/A only when it genuinely does not apply. This calculator excludes N/A criteria and normalizes the remaining active weights. Your organization should define when N/A is allowed.
Apply Critical-Error Rules
A low overall score and a critical failure are not necessarily the same thing. Depending on your documented policy, a critical error may cause an automatic fail, cap the final score, or have no automatic effect.
Follow the math behind the final score
For each applicable criterion, the calculator converts the rating to a percentage, then applies that criterion's share of the active weight. The final score is the sum of those weighted contributions, subject to the selected critical-error rule.
Example: Accuracy has a 25% weight and receives 4 out of 5. Its criterion percentage is 80%. When all active weights total 100%, Accuracy contributes 80% × 25% = 20 percentage points to the final result. Add the contribution from every other applicable criterion to calculate the base score.
What changes when a criterion is marked N/A?
An N/A criterion is excluded; it does not earn a zero or a full score. The calculator redistributes the relative weight across the remaining applicable criteria. For example, if a 25% criterion is N/A, the remaining active weights total 75%. A criterion originally weighted at 15% then represents 15 ÷ 75 = 20% of the applicable score. If that criterion earns 4 out of 5, it contributes 80% × 20% = 16 percentage points.
Why the critical-error setting matters
The base weighted score and the final policy outcome can differ. In this calculator, the Automatic FAIL option sets the score to 0%; the score-cap option limits the score to 79.9% and still marks the evaluation as FAIL; the No automatic effect option leaves the score and pass/fail decision to the normal passing threshold. Select the behavior that matches your organization's approved policy and apply it consistently across evaluators.
For fair evaluations, define each criterion clearly, document evidence in QA notes, keep scoring standards consistent, and calibrate evaluators using shared examples. This calculator supports the process; your organization's approved scorecard and policies remain authoritative.
Worked Example: Calculating a Weighted QA Score
Consider a QA evaluation with six criteria. Each criterion contributes to the final score according to its assigned weight and the score received out of five.
| Criterion | Weight | Score | Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greeting | 10% | 5/5 | 10% |
| Verification | 15% | 4/5 | 12% |
| Accuracy | 25% | 4/5 | 20% |
| Communication | 15% | 5/5 | 15% |
| Resolution | 25% | 3/5 | 15% |
| Documentation | 10% | 4/5 | 8% |
| Total | 100% | — | 80% |
How the calculation works
For each criterion, divide the score received by the maximum possible score, then multiply the result by the criterion's weight.
For Accuracy, the calculation is (4 ÷ 5) × 25% = 20 percentage points. Adding all six contributions produces a final weighted QA score of 80%.
This example assumes all six criteria apply and no critical-error rule changes the result. When an item is marked N/A, the calculator excludes it and normalizes the remaining active weights.
How It Works
Built around the workflow a QA professional actually follows: identify the interaction, score the criteria, then use the result to focus coaching.
Choose a scorecard
Start with Customer Service, Technical Support, Chat, Email, Sales, Collections, or a custom scorecard.
Evaluate the interaction
Enter the agent and interaction details, score each criterion, mark N/A or critical errors, and capture QA notes.
Understand the result

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the weighted QA calculation work?
Each applicable criterion is converted into a percentage based on its score and maximum score. That percentage is multiplied by the criterion's active normalized weight, then the contributions are combined into the final result.
What happens when I mark a criterion N/A?
The criterion is excluded from the calculation, and the remaining active weights are normalized so they represent the full applicable scorecard.
Can I customize critical-error behavior?
Yes. Choose automatic FAIL, score cap, or no automatic effect. Use the rule that matches your organization's QA policy.
Can I save evaluations?
Yes. Saved evaluations are stored in your browser using local storage. They do not require an account.
Can I print an evaluation?
Yes. Print Evaluation opens the browser print dialog. The printed output uses a simplified evaluation layout.
Does this replace an official BPO QA system?
No. It is a practical utility for calculation and evaluation notes. Your employer's official scorecard, calibration guidance and policies remain the source of truth.
