GPA calculator

Calculate a credit-weighted GPA with an explicit 4.0 scale for up to six courses.

Copy each included course’s attempted credits and final letter grade. Start with one course and add another row only when needed. Check your institution’s official grade-point and repeat-course rules before relying on the result.

Keep each course’s credits beside its grade. Add rows one at a time so every visible field belongs to a real course.

How the GPA is calculated

Each course’s grade points are multiplied by its attempted credits to produce quality points. Total quality points are divided by total included credits. Courses with zero entered credits are ignored, so the form can handle fewer than six courses without inventing extra weight.

The displayed scale is only one convention

This tool explicitly uses A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, and the listed values down to F = 0. Some institutions use 4.33, different plus/minus values, no plus/minus grades, weighted honors points, percentage conversions, or program-specific rules. Match every grade-point value to the official transcript policy.

Credits determine the weight

A higher-credit course changes the GPA more than a lower-credit course with the same grade. Enter attempted credits that count toward the GPA, not classroom hours or arbitrary importance. Repeated, withdrawn, pass/fail, incomplete, transfer, and remedial courses may receive special treatment.

Semester and cumulative GPA are different

The result covers only the courses entered. To estimate a cumulative GPA, include prior total GPA credits and quality points according to the institution’s rules or use an official degree audit. Averaging semester GPAs directly is inaccurate when semesters contain different credit totals.

Rounding should happen at the end

The calculator retains the selected grade-point values through the weighted calculation and rounds the displayed GPA to three decimals. An institution may store more precision or apply a different rounding policy. Official records always control academic standing, honors, eligibility, and graduation decisions.

This calculator is an educational planning aid, not an official transcript, academic record, admissions determination, or eligibility decision. Confirm grades, attempted credits, repeats, exclusions, and rounding with the relevant institution.
