Weighted GPA Calculator
Weighted GPA adds bonuses for advanced courses: typically +0.5 for Honors and +1.0 for AP, IB, or dual-enrollment. So an A in AP Calculus counts as 5.0, not 4.0. This calculator supports the standard 5-scale and the alternate 4.5 (Honors-only +0.5, AP capped at 4.5) used by some districts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is weighted vs unweighted GPA?
Unweighted treats all courses equally on a 4.0 scale. Weighted adds bonuses for advanced courses, allowing GPA above 4.0.
How does my school decide AP vs Honors weight?
Most US public schools follow +1.0 for AP/IB and +0.5 for Honors. Some districts use +1.0 for both. A few use no weighting at all. Check your school handbook.
Do colleges look at weighted or unweighted GPA?
Most selective colleges recalculate using their own formula, often unweighted. They still see the rigor of your coursework via the transcript itself.
Why is my weighted GPA above 4.0?
Because weighted scales allow up to 5.0. A schedule full of AP A grades produces a 5.0 weighted GPA but only 4.0 unweighted.
