Cumulative GPA Calculator
Enter your current cumulative GPA and the credits it covers, then add this term's classes. You'll see your new cumulative GPA, and the GPA you'd need over your remaining credits to reach a target.
How to calculate cumulative GPA
Cumulative GPA = total quality points ÷ total credits, across every term.
If you know your current GPA, you don't need your old grades: multiply your current GPA by the credits it covers to get your quality points so far, add this term's quality points, and divide by all the credits together.
Example
| GPA so far · 3.20 over 60 credits | 3.20 × 60 = 192.0 |
| This term · 3.80 over 15 credits | 3.80 × 15 = 57.0 |
| 249.0 points ÷ 75 credits | Cumulative GPA 3.32 |
What GPA do I need to reach my goal?
Needed GPA = (target × total credits at the end − current GPA × current credits) ÷ credits left.
For example, to raise a 3.20 over 60 credits to a 3.40 with 30 credits left, you'd need (3.40 × 90 − 3.20 × 60) ÷ 30 = 3.80, roughly an A− average.
Cumulative GPA Calculator FAQs
What does cumulative GPA mean?
It's your overall grade point average across every term at your school, with each class weighted by its credits, rather than the GPA for a single term.
Can my cumulative GPA go up a lot in one semester?
It depends on how many credits you've already completed. With few credits, one strong term can raise it a lot. With many credits, each new term changes it less.
Should I use my weighted or unweighted GPA?
Use the same type throughout. If your current GPA is unweighted, combine it with unweighted grades. For high school with Honors and AP classes, the weighted GPA calculator handles both.
What GPA scale does this calculator use?
The standard US 4.0 scale: A and A+ are 4.0, A− 3.7, B+ 3.3, B 3.0, B− 2.7, C+ 2.3, C 2.0, C− 1.7, D+ 1.3, D 1.0, D− 0.7 and F 0. Percent grades are converted with the common cut-offs (93–96 is an A, 90–92 an A−, and so on). Some schools give an A+ 4.3 or use different cut-offs, so check your handbook.
