How to Calculate Weighted GPA

A weighted GPA rewards students for taking challenging courses by adding bonus points.

Formula

Weighted GPA = Sum of ((Grade + Level Bonus) x Credits) / Total Credits

  • Regular courses: +0.0
  • Honors courses: +0.5
  • AP/IB courses: +1.0
  • An A in an AP course is worth 5.0 on a weighted scale versus 4.0 on a standard scale.

    Example Calculation

    Three courses: Regular (3.5, 3 cr), AP (3.0, 4 cr), Honors (4.0, 3 cr).

    1. 01Course 1 (Regular): (3.5 + 0.0) x 3 = 10.5
    2. 02Course 2 (AP): (3.0 + 1.0) x 4 = 16.0
    3. 03Course 3 (Honors): (4.0 + 0.5) x 3 = 13.5
    4. 04Total weighted points: 10.5 + 16.0 + 13.5 = 40.0
    5. 05Total credits: 3 + 4 + 3 = 10
    6. 06Weighted GPA = 40.0 / 10 = 4.00
