About this tool
What the Weighted GPA Calculator does
Many high schools weight GPA to reward harder courses: honours classes often add 0.5 grade points and AP or IB classes add 1.0. Colleges usually see both weighted and unweighted GPAs, so this calculator shows each.
It also works as a gpa weighted calculator.
Formula
- Unweighted = Σ grade points × credits ÷ credits
- Weighted adds 0.5 (honours) or 1.0 (AP/IB) to passing grades
- Weighted GPA can exceed 4.0
Worked example
Using the starting values in the calculator above:
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Courses | 5 entries |
| Result | Value |
|---|---|
| Weighted GPA | 3.96 |
| Unweighted GPA | 3.46 |
| Honours, AP or IB courses | 3 |
How to read the result
Colleges often recalculate GPA on their own scale, so course rigour matters as much as the weighted number.
Weighting policies differ by school; some cap the bonus or weight only certain years.
