Weighted GPA
3.71
Total Credit Hours:7.00

How to Do It Manually

Weighted GPA gives more points to honors or AP classes (e.g., AP=5.0, regular=4.0). Multiply grade points by credit hours and weights, then divide by total credit hours.

Weighted GPA = Σ(grade points × credit hours × weight) ÷ Σ(credit hours)
  1. Assign a weight factor to each class (AP=1.1, honors=1.05, regular=1.0, typical).
  2. Convert grades to points and multiply by credit hours and weight.
  3. Sum all weighted values.
  4. Divide by total credit hours.
