GPA Calculator

Worked example

Example: 3 credits at A (4.0) and 3 credits at B (3.0) average to 3.50 on a 4.0 scale.

When to use this

• Calculating semester GPA from grades and credits.
• Estimating cumulative GPA after adding this term’s grades.
• Planning what grades you need to hit a target GPA goal.
• Comparing two course load options by credit weighting.

Common examples

• Semester grades A, B+, B with credits 3, 4, 3 → weighted GPA for that term.
• Target GPA planning → what grades you need this term to reach a cumulative goal.
• Convert percent scores to letter grades first, then compute GPA with credits.

Common mistakes

• Forgetting to weight grades by course credits.
• Mixing different GPA scales (4.0 vs 5.0) without converting.
• Using unofficial grade cutoffs that differ from your school’s policy.
• Rounding each course too early instead of rounding at the end.

How it works

Enter each course with credit hours and either a letter grade or grade points on a 4.0 scale. GPA is total quality points divided by total credits. Letter grades use a common U.S. conversion including plus and minus grades.

Limitations

GPA scales vary by school. Confirm letter-grade point values with your institution.
