    Weighted GPA calculator for high school

    High schools often report a weighted GPA that rewards harder classes. Set each course’s type — Honors, AP, IB or dual enrollment — and the calculator adds the bonus to that course’s points before averaging. In the example, the Honors A- counts as 4.2 and the AP B+ as 4.3, lifting a 3.46 unweighted high school GPA to a weighted 3.76. Colleges usually recalculate GPA their own way, so it is worth knowing both numbers.

    College GPA calculator with credit hours

    For a college GPA, enter each course’s credit hours: a 4-credit lab counts four times as much as a 1-credit seminar. Add your previous cumulative GPA and credits to see where this semester leaves you, and use “Plan ahead” to see what next semester needs to reach the GPA a scholarship, a major or graduate school asks for.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I calculate my GPA?
    Turn each grade into points on the 4.0 scale (A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0 and so on), multiply by the course’s credits, add those up, and divide by the total credits. In the example, five one-credit courses score 3.7, 3.3, 3.3, 3.0 and 4.0, which total 17.3 over 5 credits: a 3.46 unweighted GPA. The calculator does this for you as you type, and a course worth more credits counts for more.
    What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
    An unweighted GPA uses the plain 4.0 scale for every class. A weighted GPA adds a bonus for harder classes — commonly +0.5 for Honors and +1.0 for AP, IB or dual-enrollment courses — so an A in AP counts as 5.0. That is why weighted GPAs can go above 4.0. Schools differ on the bonus, so both bonuses are adjustable in the settings.
    How do I convert a percentage to a GPA?
    Type the percentage and the calculator converts it with the College Board scale: 93–96 is an A (4.0), 90–92 an A- (3.7), 87–89 a B+ (3.3), 83–86 a B (3.0), down to below 65, an F (0.0). The full table is below. If your school uses different cut-offs, enter the letter grade from your report card instead.
    How do I calculate my cumulative GPA?
    Enter your current cumulative GPA and the credits it covers under "Previous GPA", then this term’s courses. The cumulative GPA weights the two by credits: 3.5 over 30 credits plus a 3.12 term over 10 credits gives (3.5 × 30 + 31.2) ÷ 40 = 3.41. Use the GPA your transcript reports as the previous GPA.
    What GPA do I need to raise my GPA to a target?
    Fill in "Plan ahead": your target, and how many credits you will take next. The calculator shows the average you need over those credits. The later you are in your degree, the more credits are already fixed, so the same target needs a higher term GPA — and sometimes one above 4.0, which it will tell you is out of reach.
    Do pass/fail classes count toward GPA?
    Usually not. Grades of P (pass), NP, W (withdrawn) and I (incomplete) carry no grade points, so they are left out of both the points and the credits, as registrars do. An F does count: it adds credits with zero points, and no Honors or AP bonus is added to it. Check your school’s policy if you are unsure.
