GPA Calculator
Work out your grade point average on the standard 4.0 scale. Enter each course with its letter grade and credit hours, and the calculator weights every grade by its credits to give your GPA.
How to use the GPA calculator
- Add a row for each course and give it an optional name.
- Pick the letter grade and enter the credit hours for the course.
- Read your weighted GPA and total credits at the top.
Examples
Two equal courses
A (3 credits), B (3 credits)
GPA 3.5 across 6 credits
Credits change the result
A (4 credits), F (1 credit)
GPA 3.2 across 5 credits
Frequently asked questions
How is GPA calculated?
Each letter grade is converted to grade points (A is 4.0, B is 3.0, and so on). Multiply each course's points by its credit hours, add those up, and divide by the total credit hours.
Why is the GPA weighted by credits?
Courses worth more credit hours count more toward your average. A 4-credit class affects your GPA roughly four times as much as a 1-credit class, so the calculator weights every grade by its credits.
What is the 4.0 scale?
It is the most common US grading scale where an A equals 4.0 and an F equals 0.0. Plus and minus grades fall in between, for example A- is 3.7 and B+ is 3.3.
What is the difference between an A and an A-?
On the 4.0 scale a straight A is worth 4.0 grade points while an A- is worth 3.7. The A- pulls your average down slightly even though both are strong grades.
Does an A+ count higher than an A?
Not on this scale. Most schools cap the scale at 4.0, so an A+ and an A are both worth 4.0 grade points here.
Is my data sent anywhere?
