Step-by-step

  1. Enter the Grade,Credits,Weight(standard/honors/ap/ib) per line.
  2. Click Calculate to see your result instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an AP or Honors class boost my GPA?
Each AP or IB course adds 1.0 to its grade points before averaging, and each Honors course adds 0.5 — so an A (4.0) in an AP class counts as 5.0 in the weighted average.
Why does it show both weighted and unweighted GPA?
The unweighted GPA reflects your grades alone on a 4.0 scale, while the weighted GPA also credits course difficulty — colleges often look at both.
Do standard (non-Honors, non-AP) courses get a bonus?
No, standard-level courses use a bonus of 0, so their grade points are unchanged in the weighted calculation.
What inputs does the Weighted GPA Calculator need?
You'll need to provide: Grade,Credits,Weight(standard/honors/ap/ib) per line. All fields use sensible defaults, so you can see a working example immediately and then adjust the values to match your own numbers.
How accurate is the Weighted GPA Calculator?
The Weighted GPA Calculator applies the formula exactly as calculated — Weighted GPA = Σ((grade points + rigor bonus) × credits) / Σ(credits), where the rigor bonus is +0.5 for Honors and +1.0 for AP/IB courses, added to the unweighted 4.0-scale grade before multiplying by credit hours. — so results are precise for the inputs you provide. Accuracy depends on entering correct, realistic input values.
Is the Weighted GPA Calculator free to use?
Yes, the Weighted GPA Calculator is completely free, requires no signup, and runs instantly in your browser.
