GPA Calculator

How to Use the GPA Calculator

Add each of your courses, select the letter grade you received (or expect to receive), and enter the credit hours for that course. The calculator weights your GPA by credit hours, meaning a 4-credit course has more impact on your GPA than a 1-credit course. Click Calculate GPA and your cumulative GPA appears instantly.

Grade Point Scale

This calculator uses the standard US 4.0 grade point scale: A+/A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B− = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C− = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, D− = 0.7, F = 0.0. Some institutions don't differentiate between A+ and A — if yours doesn't, just use A for both.

How Weighted GPA Is Calculated

For each course, multiply the grade points by the credit hours. Sum all those products. Divide by the total number of credit hours. This gives your credit-weighted GPA. For example: two courses, both 3 credits — one an A (4.0) and one a B (3.0) — gives a GPA of (12 + 9) ÷ 6 = 3.5.
