About the GPA Calculator
What is the GPA Calculator?
A GPA calculator converts your course letter grades and credit hours into a single grade point average.
Why use this calculator?
Students track GPA for scholarships, graduate admissions and academic standing, and hand-weighting courses by credit is error prone.
How to use it
- Choose the letter grade for each course.
- Enter the credit hours for each course.
- Read your credit-weighted GPA.
Formula
GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ(credits).
This uses the common 4.0 scale where A = 4.0 and F = 0.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is GPA weighted?
Each course grade is multiplied by its credit hours, the products are summed, then divided by the total credits.
What is a weighted versus unweighted GPA?
An unweighted GPA uses a fixed 4.0 scale; a weighted GPA gives extra points for honors or AP courses. This calculator is unweighted.
