GWA Calculator

Compute your General Weighted Average (GWA) from grades and units, as used by Philippine universities.

General weighted average

1.5577

Over 13 units. On the 1.00–5.00 scale, lower is better: 1.00 is the highest grade and 3.00 usually the lowest pass. Latin honours cut-offs (e.g. 1.20 or 1.45) differ by university.

About the GWA Calculator

List each subject on its own line with its grade (1.00–5.00) and units, for example “1.25, 3”. The calculator gives your GWA and the total units.

The GWA is the average of your grades weighted by each subject's units. Many Philippine universities grade from 1.00 (excellent) to 5.00 (failed), with 3.00 as the lowest passing grade, so a lower GWA is better. Each school sets its own rules for honours and which subjects count.

The formula

GWA = Σ (grade × units) ÷ Σ units

Worked example

1.25 (3 units), 1.5 (3), 2.0 (5), 1.0 (2)

Weighted: 3.75 + 4.5 + 10 + 2 = 20.25
Units: 13
GWA = 20.25 ÷ 13 = 1.5577

Questions people ask

Is 1.75 a good GWA?

Yes, on the 1–5 scale it's very good; honours lists often need 1.75 or better.

What about percentage grades?

Convert to your school's scale first.

Do PE and NSTP count?

Often not; check your university's rules and leave them out if excluded.
