About this calculator
Weighted scales add 0.5 for honors and 1.0 for AP or IB courses, which is how a transcript exceeds 4.0. Most colleges recalculate to their own scale anyway.

FAQ
How does the weighted gpa calculator work?
Weighted scales add 0.5 for honors and 1.0 for AP or IB courses, which is how a transcript exceeds 4.0. Most colleges recalculate to their own scale anyway. The underlying maths is: GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ credits, with course-level bonuses.
What do I need to enter?
6 values: regular course credits, average grade in regular courses (4.0 scale), honors credits, average grade in honors, ap / ib credits, and average grade in ap / ib. Each field starts with a sensible default, so you can change one number at a time and watch the result move.
What does the weighted gpa result mean?
It is returned as a decimal number and updates live as you edit the inputs, so you can compare two or three versions of a scenario in a few seconds.
Is this calculator free, and do I need an account?
Yes, it's free, and no account is required. Nothing you type is stored on our servers — the maths runs entirely in your browser.
How accurate is the result?
It applies the standard formula exactly, so the arithmetic is precise. Estimates assume standard, average conditions — local rules, pricing, and materials vary.
Who is this tool for?
It's built for anyone doing everyday planning maths — a quick estimate that would otherwise need four browser tabs and a calculator app.
Accuracy and limitations
- Estimates assume standard, average conditions — local rules, pricing, and materials vary.
- Results are rounded for readability; add a buffer before ordering, booking, or committing.
- Double-check anything with a real cost attached against a local quote.
