Egg Grading & Grade, Eggs per Kg & Batch Weight
Grades hen eggs
“The best tip on this tool is probably in the comments already.
Enter the average egg weight to get the size grade — Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large or Jumbo — plus eggs per kg and the total batch weight, so you can price and pack to standard.
Grade your eggs
Next: label and pack this batch as grade Large; budget about 16.7 eggs per kilo when pricing by weight.
Grade bands vary slightly by region (EU, USDA, Indian AGMARK); these use the common ≥70 Jumbo / ≥63 XL / ≥56 Large / ≥49 Medium thresholds.

Weight sets the grade, and the grade sets the price
Table eggs are graded by weight into Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large and Jumbo, and that grade is what buyers pay for — uniform large eggs fetch a premium over mixed or small ones. Grading by eye is guesswork; grading by weight is exact. From the average egg weight this tool gives you the grade, eggs per kg and total batch weight in one step.
Use it to sort a day's collection, label packs to retailer specification, and price by size class, plus convert between counted dozens and weighed batches. Pair it with the Egg Production Rate and Poultry & Egg Profit tools to turn flock output into graded, priced product.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are table eggs graded?+
Table eggs are graded into size classes by weight — typically Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large and Jumbo. The grade is set by the individual egg's mass, and it directly drives the price the egg fetches at market. This tool takes the average egg weight and returns the grade it falls into.
What are the egg weight bands?+
Common bands are roughly: Small under ~53 g, Medium ~53–63 g, Large ~63–73 g, Extra Large ~73–83 g and Jumbo above ~73–80 g, with exact cut-offs varying by country standard. Enter the average egg weight and the calculator places it in the right grade so you can sort and label correctly.
Why does grade matter for price?+
Buyers pay by grade, and larger, uniform eggs command a premium — graded packs of Large or Extra Large sell for more than mixed or small eggs. Accurate grading lets you label honestly, meet retailer specifications, and capture the best price for each size class your flock produces.
How is eggs per kg calculated?+
Eggs per kg = 1000 ÷ average egg weight in grams. A 60 g egg gives about 16–17 eggs per kg; a 70 g Extra Large gives about 14. It's a handy figure for buyers who trade by weight and for converting between counted dozens and weighed batches.
How do I get the total batch weight?+
Total weight = number of eggs × average egg weight. For 300 eggs at 62 g that's about 18.6 kg. The calculator shows the batch weight alongside the grade and eggs-per-kg so you can plan packing, transport and weight-based pricing in one go.
How do I find the average egg weight?+
Weigh a representative sample — say 20–30 eggs — on a kitchen or egg scale and divide the total by the count. Sampling across a day's collection gives a fairer average than picking eggs by eye, since size drifts with hen age, breed, feed and lay cycle.
Why are my eggs small or uneven?+
Egg size rises as hens mature, so young flocks lay smaller eggs that grow over the laying cycle. Breed, body weight, protein and energy in the ration, daylength and heat stress all shift size. Uniform large eggs — which fetch the premium — come from well-fed, mature, well-managed flocks.
Does this work for duck or other eggs?+
The weight-to-grade logic is built around chicken table-egg standards, but the eggs-per-kg and batch-weight maths apply to any egg. For duck, quail or other species, treat the grade as indicative and rely on the weight figures, which are universal.
Are the grades exact?+
They follow common commercial weight bands and are great for sorting and pricing, but legal grade cut-offs differ slightly between markets (EU, US, India and others). Check your local standard for the precise boundaries, then use this tool to sort fast and price by size.
