This calculator provides an estimate. Your school may use a different grading scale, weighting policy, or GPA calculation method.
How to Calculate Your High School GPA
Your high school GPA shows how well you perform in your classes. It is calculated by converting your letter grades into grade points and finding the average. Some schools also give extra points for advanced classes, such as Honors, AP, and IB.
High School GPA Example
Suppose you take these four courses, each worth one credit:
| Course | Grade | Course Type | Unweighted Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| English | A | Regular | 4.0 |
| Algebra | B | Regular | 3.0 |
| Biology | A | Honors | 4.0 |
| History | B | Regular | 3.0 |
Unweighted GPA: (4 + 3 + 4 + 3) ÷ 4 = 3.50
If your school adds 0.5 bonus points for Honors classes, Biology receives 4.5 weighted points. Your estimated weighted GPA becomes 3.63.
These values are examples. Your school may use a different scale or weighting policy.
What Is the Difference Between Weighted and Unweighted GPA?
An unweighted GPA usually uses a 4.0 scale and does not give extra points for more difficult courses. A weighted GPA may award additional points for Honors, AP, or IB classes, so it can be higher than the unweighted GPA.
What Is a Good High School GPA?
A GPA of 3.0 or higher is often considered good, while a GPA of 3.5 or higher is generally strong. Expectations vary by school, college, scholarship, and program.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this calculator include AP and Honors classes?
Yes. Select AP / IB or Honors for a course to estimate weighted GPA using bonus points.
Can I calculate my GPA for a specific grade level?
Yes. Choose 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grade. This setting identifies your current grade level; your GPA is calculated from the courses you enter.
Is weighted GPA always higher than unweighted GPA?
Not necessarily. It depends on the grades you earn, which courses receive bonus points, and the rules used by your school.
Will this match my official school GPA?
Not always. Schools may use different grade-point values, course weights, credit rules, and rounding methods. Check your transcript or school handbook for your official GPA policy.
