Compute your GWA instantly — enter subjects, credit units, and final grades. Works for all Philippine colleges and universities. No sign-up, 100% private.
Enter your subjects, credit units, and final grades below, then click Calculate. Your General Weighted Average is computed as Σ(Grade × Units) ÷ Σ(Units). Works for all Philippine colleges using the 1.00–5.00 scale — lower numbers are better.
Standard cutoffs used by most Philippine universities. Your cumulative GWA determines graduation honors:
🏆 Summa Cum Laude — GWA 1.00–1.20
🥇 Magna Cum Laude — GWA 1.21–1.45
🎓 Cum Laude — GWA 1.46–1.75
Dean's List — GWA 1.75 or lower (per semester)

The GWA Formula
Standard formula used by all Philippine colleges and universities:
GWA = Σ(Grade × Units) ÷ Σ(Units)
Example:
Math (3 units × 1.75) = 5.25
English (3 units × 2.00) = 6.00
Science (5 units × 1.50) = 7.50
──────────────────────────────
13 units total | Sum = 18.75 GWA = 18.75 ÷ 13 = 1.442 → Magna Cum Laude
A GWA of 1.75 or lower is considered excellent and qualifies for Cum Laude honors at most Philippine universities. GWA 1.20 or lower = Summa Cum Laude (highest). Many scholarships require 1.75 or better. See the full grade equivalents table.
What is the GWA formula?
GWA = Σ(Grade × Units) ÷ Σ(Units). Multiply each subject's grade by its credit units, sum all products, then divide by total units. This calculator does it automatically. Full formula explained →
How do I compute GWA in college Philippines?
List all subjects with credit units and final grades. Multiply grade × units for each. Sum all products. Divide by total units. For a full step-by-step walkthrough: How to compute GWA in college →
Does this work for percentage grades?
Yes. Enter your percentage grades (e.g. 88, 92, 95) and use the same scale consistently across all subjects. The weighted average formula is identical regardless of grading scale.
Is GWA the same as GPA?
No. GPA uses a 4.0 scale (US) where higher is better. GWA uses a 1.00–5.00 scale (Philippines) where lower numbers are better. Full GPA vs GWA comparison →
Does this work for UP, UST, FEU, NU, BU, PUP?
Yes — all Philippine universities using the standard 1.00–5.00 scale. We also have dedicated calculators for NU and BU (Bicol University).
Are my grades stored or seen by anyone?
