What does this tool do?
A weighted GPA recognises that courses carry different credit values and that honours or advanced classes may earn extra points. This calculator combines total quality points, credits and an optional honours adjustment.
The Formula
Weighted GPA = (Quality points + Honours credits × Bonus) ÷ Total creditsFrequently Asked Questions
How do I find total quality points?
Multiply each course’s credits by its grade point and add the results. For example, a 4.0 in a 3-credit course is 12 quality points and a 3.0 in a 4-credit course is 12 more.
Does every school use the same honours bonus?
No. Some add 1.0 for AP or honours courses, some add 0.5, and some do not weight at all. Use the policy on your transcript or school profile.
