About this tool

Weighted GPA applies boosts for honors, AP, or IB style courses before averaging. Typical defaults add +0.5 or +1.0 grade points with a 5.0 cap, alongside an unweighted figure for comparison.

School policies vary widely — some weight only certain years or use different caps. Treat the boosts as editable assumptions, not a universal rule.

Use the standard GPA calculator when every course shares one map without level boosts.

Formula

  • Unweighted: Σ(base×c)/Σc with US 4.0 letters
  • Weighted: base + boost (honors 0.5, AP/IB 1.0), capped at 5.0

How it is calculated

  1. Pick letter grade and credits for each course.
  2. Set level: regular, honors, or AP/IB.
  3. Compare weighted vs unweighted averages.

Questions

Are the results official advice?

No. Calculate This is an educational tool. Your school's or registrar's official calculation always takes precedence.
