What this gpa calculator does

GPA Calculator computes a credit-weighted grade point average on a 4.0 scale. Each course contributes its credit hours multiplied by the grade points, and the total is divided by the sum of credits — so a four-credit course affects the result more than a two-credit one.

The tool includes common plus and minus grades. Institutions differ on whether A+ earns more than 4.0, how repeated courses are treated and whether failed credits remain in the denominator, so use your official transcript for formal decisions.

Why use it

  • Estimate a term GPA before results are published.
  • See how many credits are pulling the average up or down.
  • Test the effect of a grade on a scholarship threshold.

How to use it

  1. 1Enter a label and credit hours for each course.
  2. 2Choose the letter grade, which sets the grade points.
  3. 3Add courses as needed and read the weighted GPA.

Worked examples

Two courses

Input

3 credits at A (4.0) and 4 credits at B+ (3.3)

Output

GPA 3.60 · 7 credits · 25.2 quality points

Equal credits

Input

3 credits at A and 3 credits at C

Output

GPA 3.00

Common mistakes

  • Averaging grade points without weighting by credits.
  • Assuming every institution uses the same plus/minus values.
  • Leaving a repeated course in the calculation when the institution replaces the earlier grade.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a weighted or unweighted GPA?
It is weighted by credit hours. High-school weighted GPAs sometimes add bonus points for honours or advanced courses; this calculator uses a standard 4.0 grade-point scale instead.
What about pass/fail courses?
Leave them out unless your institution assigns grade points. Pass/fail credits usually count toward progress, not GPA.
Can I calculate a cumulative GPA?
Add every course from every term, or enter prior total credits and quality points separately if you are combining with an existing average.
