Weighted GPA Calculator

0.00Weighted GPA

Calculate your weighted GPA the way most high schools actually score it, with a bonus added for harder classes. Regular courses use the standard 4.0 scale, honors classes typically add half a point, and AP or IB classes add a full point, so an A in an AP class can be worth 5.0. Enter each course with its letter grade, credit hours and class level, and this tool converts every grade to points, multiplies by credits, then divides total quality points by total credits. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded anywhere. Use it to check what a challenging schedule does to your average, to compare a weighted number against the unweighted 4.0 scale, or to set a target before final report cards post.

How to use Weighted GPA Calculator

  2. Enter the credit hours and class level for each.

Frequently asked questions

How does weighting change the GPA?

Honors, AP and IB classes add extra points to the grade value, typically 0.5 for honors and 1.0 for AP or IB, so harder classes can push the GPA above 4.0.

How are credit hours used?

Each class grade is weighted by its credit hours so that longer or more heavily credited courses count more toward the average.

Can a weighted GPA exceed 4.0?

Yes. Because the class level bonus adds to the grade points, a schedule full of AP or IB courses can produce a GPA above 4.0.
