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. Students, parents and teachers use these calculators to see where a mark or attendance record currently stands and, where a target matters, what still needs to be achieved, whether that is planning a study workload, deciding which assessment to prioritise, or preparing for a progress meeting. Enter your values below and the result updates instantly, and you can share a permalink that pre-fills the exact calculation. Grading scales, credit weightings and attendance rules vary by school, district and country, so enter the scale, weights or threshold your own institution actually uses, keep every entry on that same scale rather than mixing points with percentages, and include only the assessments or sessions already recorded so a partial term is not read as a final result. 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. The output is an arithmetic result from the figures you supply and not an official academic record: your institution's own policy on rounding, dropped or replaced scores, credit values and excused absences governs the mark or attendance figure that is formally reported, so treat this as a working estimate rather than the final entry on a transcript.
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.
