Weighted High School GPA: Formula and Example
Unweighted GPA formula
Unweighted GPA = (Sum of (GPA points × course credits)) ÷ (Sum of course credits)
Weighted GPA formula
Weighted GPA uses the same structure, but adds an extra bump for advanced courses. A common weighting method is:
- Honors: +0.5
- AP/IB/Dual Enrollment: +1.0
- Cap the result at your GPA scale (e.g., 4.0 or 5.0)
Example
Suppose you have two 1-credit courses:
English (A) = 4.0, Honors Algebra (B+) = 3.3
- Unweighted: (4.0×1 + 3.3×1) ÷ 2 = 3.65
- Weighted (Honors +0.5 on Algebra): (4.0×1 + 3.8×1) ÷ 2 = 3.90
