About this tool
The GPA Calculator takes your course grades and credit hours and computes your grade point average on a standard 4.0 scale. It is built for high school students, college and university students, and anyone tracking academic standing who needs a quick, accurate number without digging through a handbook or doing the weighted math by hand.
Reach for this tool when you are checking whether your GPA meets a scholarship threshold, planning which courses to retake, or projecting what grades you need to hit a target average. It handles multiple courses in one go, so you get your cumulative figure in seconds rather than working through each calculation yourself.
How to use it
- Enter the name or code for each course in the course field provided.
- Select the letter grade or enter the numeric grade you received.
- Type the number of credit hours each course is worth.
- Add additional course rows using the plus or add course button.
- Click Calculate to see your weighted GPA on a 4.0 scale.
- Review the per-course breakdown to spot which grades pulled your average down.
Pro tips
- Enter in-progress courses with your projected grade to see what GPA you can realistically finish the semester with.
- If your school uses a plus/minus system, select the exact grade like B+ rather than rounding to B, as the difference shifts your GPA by up to 0.3 points.
FAQ
Does this calculator work for cumulative GPA across multiple semesters?
Yes, just enter every course from every term along with its credit hours and grade. The tool weights everything together to give you an accurate cumulative figure.
What if my school uses a percentage grade instead of letters?
Convert your percentage to the letter grade your institution assigns before entering it, since grading scales vary by school and the tool uses a standard 4.0 conversion table.
