About this calculator

The GPA Calculator computes your Grade Point Average for a semester by weighting each course's grade points by its credit hours. You can enter a letter grade (automatically mapped to the 4.0 scale) or a precise numeric grade point for each course.

Frequently Asked Questions

GPA is the credit-weighted average of your grade points: multiply each course's grade points by its credit hours, sum these across all courses, then divide by the total credit hours.

The calculator uses the standard 4.0 scale where A/A+ = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, and so on down to F = 0.0.

Yes, if your institution uses a non-standard scale, enter the exact grade points for a course directly and the calculator will use that value instead of the letter-grade mapping.
