How GPA is calculated
A grade point average converts letter grades into points on a 4.0 scale, then weighs each course by its credit hours. A high grade in a four-credit course moves the GPA more than the same grade in a one-credit course. This GPA calculator does the credit-weighting automatically so the number you report is accurate.
How to use it
Add a row for each course, choose the letter grade from the dropdown, and enter the number of credit hours. The calculator multiplies each grade's point value by its credits, totals everything, and divides by total credits to give the GPA. Add or remove courses freely to model different scenarios.
Helping students plan
Students often ask what grade they need to reach a target GPA. Use this tool to test scenarios — change one grade and watch the GPA shift. For a single course, the Final Grade Calculator shows exactly what score is needed on a remaining assessment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What scale does this GPA calculator use?
It uses the common unweighted 4.0 scale, where an A equals 4.0 down to an F at 0.0, with pluses and minuses in between.
How are credit hours used?
Each course's grade points are multiplied by its credits, so heavier courses influence the GPA more. The total is divided by total credits.
Can it handle weighted or honors GPAs?
This tool uses the standard 4.0 scale. For honors or AP weighting, add the extra points to your scale manually.
Is it free?
Yes — free, private and unlimited.
