How to calculate your GPA

1. Turn each grade into grade points on the 4.0 scale: an A is 4.0, a B 3.0, a C 2.0, a D 1.0 and an F 0, with plus and minus grades in between (a B+ is 3.3).

2. Multiply each class's grade points by its credits. A 3-credit class with a B+ gives 3 × 3.3 = 9.9 quality points.

3. Add up the quality points and divide by the total credits. That's your GPA.

For a weighted GPA, add the bonus for Honors (+0.5) or AP, IB and dual-enrollment classes (+1.0) to each class's grade points before multiplying.

Example: one semester

English · A− · 3 credits3.7 × 3 = 11.1
Algebra · B+ · 4 credits3.3 × 4 = 13.2
Biology · A · 3 credits4.0 × 3 = 12.0
History · B · 3 credits3.0 × 3 = 9.0
45.3 points ÷ 13 creditsGPA 3.48

Weighted vs unweighted GPA

An unweighted GPA treats every class the same and tops out at 4.0. A weighted GPA gives extra points for harder classes, so it can go above 4.0 (usually up to 5.0).

Colleges see both on many transcripts, and many recalculate GPA their own way. Use the unweighted number to compare with a college's typical GPA, and the weighted number to see the credit you earn for a demanding schedule.

Cumulative GPA

Your cumulative GPA covers every class so far, not just this term. Enter your current cumulative GPA and how many credits it covers, and the calculator combines it with this term's classes, weighting each by its credits.

GPA Calculator FAQs

What is a GPA?

GPA stands for grade point average: the average of your grades on a points scale, usually 0 to 4.0, with each class weighted by its credits. It's used by schools, colleges and scholarships to summarise your grades in one number.

What is a good GPA?

It depends on your goals. On the 4.0 scale a 3.0 is a B average and a 3.5 is between a B+ and an A−. Selective colleges and scholarships often look for higher, so check the typical GPA of the schools or programs you're aiming for.

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.

How are Honors and AP classes weighted?

The most common system adds 0.5 for Honors and 1.0 for AP, IB and dual-enrollment classes, so an A in an AP class counts as 5.0. An F gets no bonus. Some schools use other bonuses or weight only some years, so your official weighted GPA can differ slightly.

Can I calculate GPA without credits?

Yes. Leave every class at 1 credit and each class counts equally, which is how many high schools calculate GPA within a year.
