# Weighted GPA Calculator Calculate weighted GPA from credits, grades, and course rigor bonuses for honors, AP, or IB classes > Canonical page: https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/weighted-gpa-calculator - **Category:** Math & Numbers - **Keywords:** weighted gpa calculator, grade point average, honors gpa, ap gpa, calculator ## Overview The Weighted GPA Calculator allows students to accurately determine their academic standing by factoring in course credits, letter grades, and specific rigor bonuses for AP, IB, or Honors classes. ## Inputs - **Course Data** (textarea): Name | Credits | Grade | Level AP Math | 3 | A | AP Honors English | 4 | B+ | Honors Biology | 3 | A- | Regular - **Honors Bonus** (number) - **AP/IB Bonus** (number) - **Maximum GPA** (number) - **Decimal Places** (number) ## When to use - When applying to colleges that require both weighted and unweighted GPA calculations. - When you need to project how taking advanced placement or honors courses will impact your overall GPA. - When comparing your academic performance across different grading scales or school systems. ## How it works - Enter your course list using the format: Name | Credits | Grade | Level. - Adjust the bonus points for Honors and AP/IB courses to match your school's specific grading policy. - Set your maximum GPA scale (e.g., 4.0 or 5.0) and the desired number of decimal places for precision. - Click calculate to receive your weighted and unweighted GPA along with total quality points. ## Use cases - High school students tracking their progress toward college admission requirements. - Academic advisors calculating potential GPA outcomes for students planning their upcoming semester. - Transfer students converting their previous academic records to a unified weighted scale. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA? Unweighted GPA is calculated on a standard 4.0 scale regardless of course difficulty, while weighted GPA adds extra points for more challenging courses like AP or Honors. ### Can I customize the bonus points for AP classes? Yes, you can adjust the AP/IB and Honors bonus fields to reflect the specific weightings used by your institution. ### Does this calculator support different grading scales? Yes, you can set the maximum GPA scale between 4.0 and 6.0 to accommodate various school grading systems. ### How are credits handled in the calculation? The calculator uses a credit-weighted average, ensuring that courses with more credit hours have a larger impact on your final GPA. ### Is my data saved after I leave the page? No, this tool processes your data locally in your browser and does not store your academic information. ## Related tools - [Absolute Value Calculator](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/absolute-value-calculator): Calculate the absolute value of positive, negative, or decimal numbers and explain the sign relationship - [Adjusted R-Squared Calculator](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/adjusted-r-squared-calculator): Calculate adjusted R squared from R squared, sample size, and predictor count - [Bearing Life L10 Calculator](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/bearing-life-l10): Calculate the basic rating life of a rolling bearing: L10 = (C/P)^p, with p = 3 for ball bearings and p = 10/3 for roller bearings.
