Add each course with its credit hours and letter grade to compute your grade point average on the standard 4.0 scale — with total credits and quality points shown for transparency.

Private by design. This tool runs 100% in your browser — your inputs are never uploaded to any server.

How to Use the GPA Calculator

  1. Click + Add course for each class.
  2. Enter credit hours and select the letter grade.
  3. Click Calculate GPA for your 4.0-scale GPA.

Features

Dynamic course rows support the full A+ through F scale with correct point values (A=4.0, B=3.0, etc.), weighting each grade by its credit hours exactly as registrars do.

Benefits & Use Cases

College students track semester and cumulative GPA, check scholarship eligibility cutoffs, and project what grades they need to hit a target GPA.

Tips

Plus/minus grades change the math — a B+ (3.3) vs B (3.0) matters, so select the exact letter your school awarded. Weight-heavy courses swing GPA most.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is GPA calculated?

Each course’s grade points × credit hours gives quality points; total quality points ÷ total credits = GPA.

What is a good GPA?

Generally 3.0+ is solid, 3.5+ is honors territory — but standards vary by school and program.

Does an A+ count more than an A?

On the standard 4.0 scale both are 4.0; some schools weight A+ as 4.3, which this calculator does not.

Can I calculate cumulative GPA?

Yes — enter all courses across semesters, or combine prior totals as one entry with your existing GPA as the grade.
