GPA Calculator

Convert each course’s letter grade into grade points using your school’s scale, then multiply those points by the course credits. Add the results and divide by the total credits that count toward your GPA. For example, an A worth 4.0 in a 3-credit class and a B worth 3.0 in another 3-credit class give you a 3.5 GPA.

An unweighted GPA measures grades without adding bonus points for advanced coursework, commonly using a 4.0 scale. A weighted GPA adds extra points for eligible courses such as Honors, AP, or IB. The bonuses and maximum possible GPA depend on your school’s policy.

Your cumulative GPA combines all the courses that count toward your GPA across multiple semesters. Multiply your previous cumulative GPA by its corresponding GPA credits, add your new semester’s grade points, then divide by the combined GPA credits. Avoid simply averaging semester GPAs unless every semester has the same number of GPA credits.

Yes, if all your classes carry equal weight, enter 1 credit for each class to calculate an equally weighted GPA. If your courses have different credit values, you’ll need those values for an accurate result. Check your transcript or course information rather than assuming every class counts equally.

Use your school’s grading scale to convert each course percentage into a letter grade or grade-point value, then calculate your GPA using the course credits. Percentage cutoffs vary, so the same percentage can translate to different GPA values at different schools. Dividing your overall percentage by 25 does not reliably convert it to a 4.0 GPA.

These classes can raise your weighted GPA if your school awards extra points for advanced coursework. A common approach adds 1.0 point for eligible AP or IB classes and 0.5 for Honors, but the bonuses and eligibility rules vary. For an unweighted GPA, the course level does not add bonus points.

A good GPA depends on your grading scale and what you need it for, such as graduation, a scholarship, or admission to a particular program. On a common unweighted 4.0 scale, a 3.0 represents a B average, while a 3.5 falls between B and A performance. Compare your GPA with the published requirements and student profiles relevant to your goal.

Earning grades above your current average in courses that count toward your GPA will raise it. How much it rises depends on both your new grades and how many GPA credits you’ve already completed. Use a target GPA calculator to work out the average you need in your remaining courses, then focus your study plan on reaching it.

In a standard letter-graded course, an F usually adds zero grade points while the course credits still count in your GPA calculation. For example, a 3-credit A and a 3-credit F average to a 2.0 GPA on a standard 4.0 scale. If you retake the failed class, your school’s repeat policy determines whether the original grade continues to count.

Your school may use different grade-point values, course exclusions, repeat policies, or rounding rules than the calculator’s settings. Check your grades and credits carefully, including any failed or repeated courses that count toward GPA. Treat the calculator as an estimate, and use your official transcript GPA when an application asks for it.
