Weighted GPA calculator
Runs 100% in your browser. Numbers stay on your device.
Searching for a weighted GPA calculator usually means: “give me credit-weighted points, and boost hard classes.” TryCalculatingNow does that client-side. It is not your school’s official scale.
How to run weighted mode
- Open the GPA Calculator.
- Check Use weighted GPA (Honors +0.5 · AP/IB +1.0) at the top.
- Add courses with credits and letter grades; mark honors/AP where the row allows.
- Read semester and cumulative GPA — then compare to your handbook’s boost rules.
Disclaimer: Boost amounts and caps vary by school and college. Verify against your official transcript policy before scholarship or admissions decisions.
Frequently asked questions
What is a weighted GPA?
Weighted GPA adds extra points for honors, AP, or IB courses (for example +0.5 or +1.0 on an A). Unweighted usually caps at 4.0. Your transcript policy defines the boost — online tools only apply typical defaults.
How does TryCalculatingNow weight honors and AP?
Enable “Use weighted GPA” in the GPA Calculator. Honors courses get +0.5 and AP/IB get +1.0 on the letter’s unweighted points, then credits weight the average. Match that to your school only if the handbook agrees.
Is weighted GPA the same everywhere?
No. Some schools use 5.0 scales, different boosts, or exclude certain electives. Always follow your registrar or handbook — this page is educational math, not an official transcript.
Are my course grades uploaded?
No. Course rows stay in your browser (optional local draft). Nothing is sent to a server. Clear the saved transcript anytime.
