Add your classes and grades, mark Honors or AP for the weighted bonus, or switch weighting off for the plain unweighted 4.0 GPA colleges also want.

High schools report two GPAs. The unweighted one caps every class at 4.0. The weighted one adds a bonus for rigor — +0.5 for Honors, +1.0 for AP or IB — so it can reach 5.0. Colleges usually look at both, and many recalculate to their own scale.

Add each class below with its grade, credits, and level. Keep weighting on for your weighted GPA, or switch it off to see the unweighted number — both come from the same courses.

Weighted and unweighted, from one list

Enter your classes once. With weighting on, Honors adds 0.5 and AP/IB adds 1.0 to each class's grade points before averaging. Turn weighting off and every class is capped at 4.0. Knowing both matters because application portals ask for different ones, and some colleges strip weighting to compare students fairly.

Do all classes carry the same credit?

Many high schools give every year-long class equal weight (one credit each), in which case GPA is a straight average. Others use half-credits for semester courses or different credit values — enter whatever your transcript shows in the credits field and the calculator weights them correctly.

Worked example (weighted)

  • AP US History (1 credit), A → (4.0 + 1.0) × 1 = 5.0
  • Honors Chemistry (1 credit), A− → (3.7 + 0.5) × 1 = 4.2
  • Regular Spanish (1 credit), B+ → 3.3 × 1 = 3.3
  • Total: 12.5 ÷ 3 = 4.17 weighted GPA (3.67 unweighted)

Frequently asked questions

What's a good high school GPA?

Unweighted, a 3.5+ is strong and 4.0 is a straight-A record. Weighted GPAs run higher because of the Honors/AP bonus, so a competitive weighted GPA is often 4.0–4.5+.

Does my high school GPA include electives and PE?

Usually yes — most schools average every graded class, including electives and PE, into the GPA. Pass/fail classes typically don't count. Check your school's policy for exceptions.

How do colleges use weighted vs unweighted GPA?

They see both. Many recalculate an unweighted GPA (or their own weighted version) so applicants from different schools compare fairly. Report whichever the application asks for, and know both.
