Weighted GPA calculator

One course per line: the grade, the credits and the level, like A, 1, AP or B+, 1, H. Leave the level out for a regular course. Schools weight courses differently, so set the extra points to match yours.

How we worked it out

Updated as you change the numbers.

  1. Each grade becomes points on the 4.0 scale, plus any extra points for its level.
  2. Multiply by credits, add them up, and divide by total credits.

Method and assumptions

Uses the common 4.0 scale (A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, with plus and minus steps). Many schools add 0.5 for honors and 1.0 for AP or IB, but there is no single rule.

Questions

What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?

Unweighted GPA treats every course the same, on a 4.0 scale. Weighted GPA adds points for harder courses, so an A in an AP class can count as 5.0.
