High School GPA Calculator

Add your classes and grades. You get your unweighted GPA and your weighted GPA at the same time.

Pick a grade for at least one class to see your GPA.

How to use it

  1. Choose the letter grade you got in each class.
  2. Pick the class type: regular, honors, or AP / IB.
  3. Leave credits at 1, or change them if your school uses 0.5 for half-year classes.
  4. Your two GPAs update as you go. Use "Add class" for more rows.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?

Unweighted GPA uses the plain 4.0 scale, so an A is always 4.0. Weighted GPA adds extra points for harder classes, so an A in an AP class can count as 5.0.

How many extra points do honors and AP classes get?

Most schools add 0.5 for honors and 1.0 for AP, IB or dual enrollment. Some schools use different amounts, so check your school handbook.

How many credits should I enter?

Most high school classes are 1 credit for a full year, or 0.5 for a semester. If you are not sure, leave every class at 1.

Is this the same GPA my school reports?

It is a close estimate. Schools can use their own scales, so your official GPA may differ slightly.

What is a good high school GPA?

A 3.0 unweighted is a solid B average. A 3.5 or higher helps with many college applications, and 3.8+ is competitive for selective schools.
