How to Calculate Your Weighted GPA: Example

Suppose a Student has 3 courses: (Sample Student Courses)

Step by step calculation

1. Enter the 3 rows exactly as above:
   • Math, A, 4, AP/IB
   • History, B+, 3, Honors
   • English, B, 3, Regular
2. Click Calculate GPA.
3. See if the result says 4.04.

How to calculate manually

1️⃣ Convert grades to GPA points:

• A = 4.0, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0

2️⃣ Add weight for course level:

• Math (AP): 4.0 + 1.0 = 5.0
• History (Honors): 3.3 + 0.5 = 3.8
• English (Regular): 3.0 + 0 = 3.0

3️⃣ Multiply by credits:

• Math: 5.0 × 4 = 20.0
• History: 3.8 × 3 = 11.4
• English: 3.0 × 3 = 9.0

4️⃣ Add total points & credits:

• Total Points = 20.0 + 11.4 + 9.0 = 40.4
• Total Credits = 4 + 3 + 3 = 10

5️⃣ Weighted GPA = Total Points ÷ Total Credits:
40.4 ÷ 10 = 4.04

✅ So, your calculator should show:
Your Weighted GPA is: 4.04

Weighted vs Unweighted GPA — Quick Guide

So, what’s the real difference?

✔️ Unweighted GPA is the basic average of your grades on a standard 4.0 scale — it treats all classes equally.

✔️ Weighted GPA gives extra points for advanced courses like Honors, AP, or IB. For example, an A in a Regular class equals 4.0, but an A in an AP class could count as 5.0.

🎓 Why does this matter? Colleges and scholarship boards look at both GPAs to understand your course rigor — so knowing your weighted GPA can help you see how competitive you really are.
