Weighted GPA Calculator
Calculate your weighted GPA including AP, IB, and honors classes. See how advanced courses boost your GPA on a 5.0 scale.
A weighted GPA gives extra grade points for advanced courses: AP and IB classes add 1.0 (so an A = 5.0), and honors classes add 0.5 (A = 4.5). This calculator computes your weighted GPA on a 5.0 scale, rewarding you for taking challenging coursework.
Tips for Weighted GPA
Weighted scale: Regular A=4.0, Honors A=4.5, AP/IB A=5.0. Some schools use different weightings
Taking AP/IB courses even with slightly lower grades can result in a higher weighted GPA than all A's in regular classes
A weighted GPA above 4.0 signals to colleges that you are taking rigorous courses — this matters for admissions
