How to use this Unweighted GPA Calculator
Step 1: Click "Add Class" to add a row for each of your classes. Step 2: Select the letter grade you received in each class from the dropdown menu. Step 3: Click "Calculate Unweighted GPA" to see your result instantly.
Unweighted GPA is calculated by converting each letter grade to its point value (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, etc.), then averaging all the grade points together. All classes count equally.
Remember: Unlike weighted GPA, unweighted GPA does not give extra points for advanced classes. An A in a regular class counts the same as an A in an honors or AP class (both = 4.0).
FAQs
Quick answers to the most common questions about unweighted GPA.
What is an unweighted GPA?
An unweighted GPA is calculated on a standard 4.0 scale where A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, and F = 0.0. All classes are treated equally regardless of difficulty level.
What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
Unweighted GPA uses a standard 4.0 scale for all classes. Weighted GPA gives extra points for honors, AP, or IB classes (often up to 5.0 or 6.0), making it higher than unweighted GPA.
How do I calculate my unweighted GPA?
Convert each letter grade to its point value (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, etc.), add all the grade points together, then divide by the total number of classes. This gives you your average unweighted GPA.
Does an A in an AP class count more in unweighted GPA?
No. In unweighted GPA, an A in an AP class counts the same as an A in a regular class (both = 4.0). Only weighted GPA gives extra points for advanced classes.
What is a good unweighted GPA?
A 3.5-4.0 unweighted GPA is excellent, 3.0-3.49 is good, 2.5-2.99 is average, and below 2.0 may indicate academic difficulties. Most competitive colleges look for 3.5+ unweighted GPA.
Can I use this calculator for college or high school GPA?
Yes. This unweighted GPA calculator works for both high school and college students. The standard 4.0 unweighted scale is used by most US educational institutions.
