GPA Calculator

Calculate your GPA on a 4.0 scale from letter grades or grade points and credit hours — and your cumulative GPA including previous semesters.

How to use

  1. 1List each course as 'grade credits' on its own line, e.g. 'A- 3' or '3.7 4'.
  2. 2Optionally add your previous GPA and credits to get a cumulative GPA.

How it's calculated

GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ credits, using A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0 … F = 0 (the common US scale).

Frequently asked questions

Does my school use the same grade points?

Most US schools use this scale, but some give A+ a 4.3 or have no minus grades. You can type numeric grade points instead of letters to match your school.

How is cumulative GPA calculated?

Your previous GPA is weighted by the credits you'd already earned, then combined with this semester's grade points.

Are pass/fail courses included?

Usually not — leave them out, since they don't carry grade points at most schools.
