GPA Calculator

Calculate your semester or cumulative GPA.

How to Calculate GPA

Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is the standard measurement used by schools worldwide to evaluate your overall academic performance across a semester or entire degree. Calculating it manually involves juggling grade weight scales and varying credit hours, which can quickly become confusing.

To compute your GPA, each alphabet grade (like an "A" or "B-") is converted to a numerical value on a 4.0 scale. An 'A' is worth 4.0, a 'B' is worth 3.0, and so on. You then multiply that numerical value by the number of credits the class is worth to get your "Quality Points". Finally, you add up all your Quality Points and divide them by the total number of credits you attempted.

This tool handles the heavy lifting. Just plug in your grades and the credit hours for each class, and we instantly output your standardized 4.0 GPA!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 3.5 GPA good?

Yes. A 3.5 GPA indicates that you are averaging midway between an A and a B. Most universities consider anything above a 3.0 to be a solid academic achievement.

What is a weighted GPA?

A weighted GPA takes class difficulty into account. Honors or Advanced Placement (AP) classes might grade on a 5.0 scale instead of a 4.0 scale. This calculator currently uses standard unweighted 4.0 scaling.
