About the High School GPA Calculator

This high school GPA calculator computes both unweighted and weighted GPAs using a tiered grade scale. Standard courses use a 4.0 scale, honors courses use a 4.5 scale, and AP/IB courses use a 5.0 scale. The calculator also provides an approximate class rank indicator based on your weighted GPA.

How to Use

  1. Add each course with its name, the letter grade earned, the number of credits, and the course type (Standard, Honors, or AP/IB).
  2. Click "Calculate GPA" to see your unweighted GPA, weighted GPA, total credits, and per-course breakdown.
  3. Review the class rank indicator to see approximately where you stand compared to peers.

FAQs

What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?

Unweighted GPA treats all courses equally on a 4.0 scale regardless of difficulty. Weighted GPA gives extra weight for honors (4.5 max) and AP/IB (5.0 max) courses, rewarding students who take more challenging coursework. Colleges often consider both.

How is the class rank indicator calculated?

The class rank indicator estimates your approximate percentile based on your weighted GPA. A weighted GPA above 4.0 typically places you in the top 10%, above 3.5 in the top 25%, above 3.0 in the top 50%, and below 2.5 in the bottom half. Actual class rank varies by school.
