GPA Calculator

Calculate your grade point average from courses and credits.

Calculated locally in your browser.

Understanding your result

Courses with more credits influence the GPA more. This uses the common US 4.0 scale.

Formula and method

GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ(credits), using A=4.0, A-=3.7, B+=3.3, B=3.0 and so on.

Worked example

“A 3” and “B 3” give (4.0×3 + 3.0×3) ÷ 6 = 3.5.

How to use this tool

  1. Enter each course as a grade and its credits, one per line.
  2. Press Calculate to see your GPA.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Leaving out credit hours, which weights every course equally.
