Weighted GPA Calculator
The Weighted GPA Calculator computes weighted gpa from the relation weighted GPA = sum of (grade points x credits) / sum of credits. It takes 6 inputs (course 1 weighted grade points in points, course 1 credits in credits, course 2 weighted grade points in points, course 2 credits in credits, course 3 weighted grade points in points, course 3 credits in credits) and returns the weighted gpa. Because this is a pure mathematical or physical formula rather than a jurisdiction-specific rule, the result never changes over time: the same inputs always produce the same answer, so you can rely on it whether you are checking homework, sizing a design, or sanity-checking another tool. Enter your values in the fields below and the result updates instantly; you can also share a permalink that pre-fills the exact calculation, which is useful for teaching, reports, or collaboration. For example, with course 1 weighted grade points = 4 points, course 1 credits = 1 credits, course 2 weighted grade points = 4 points, course 2 credits = 1 credits, course 3 weighted grade points = 4 points, course 3 credits = 1 credits, the weighted gpa works out to 4, and the worked example further down the page shows every step so you can follow the arithmetic and reproduce it by hand. The method is the standard form documented by U.S. Department of Education, and the figure above each result carries the date it was last verified. This tool is general information and is not a substitute for professional engineering, medical, financial, or scientific advice; always check critical results against the primary source and your own judgement.
With Course 1 weighted grade points = 4 points, Course 1 credits = 1 credits, Course 2 weighted grade points = 4 points, Course 2 credits = 1 credits, Course 3 weighted grade points = 4 points, Course 3 credits = 1 credits, the result is 4.

The formula
weighted GPA = sum of (grade points x credits) / sum of credits
Worked example
With Course 1 weighted grade points = 4 points, Course 1 credits = 1 credits, Course 2 weighted grade points = 4 points, Course 2 credits = 1 credits, Course 3 weighted grade points = 4 points, Course 3 credits = 1 credits:
- Quality points = 4x1 + 4x1 + 4x1 = 12
- Total credits = 3
- Weighted GPA = 12 / 3 = 4
- Weighted GPA = 4
This worked example is one of the automated golden-value tests this calculator must pass before it can publish.
What this assumes
- Inputs are real numbers in the units shown.
- The result is the exact value of weighted GPA = sum of (grade points x credits) / sum of credits; general information, not professional advice.
Frequently asked questions
What formula does this use?
weighted GPA = sum of (grade points x credits) / sum of credits, the standard form documented by U.S. Department of Education.
Does the result ever change over time?
No. This is a pure formula with no external rate, so the same inputs always give the same result.
