How to use the GPA calculator
Enter one row per course, choose the letter grade and type the credit hours. The semester GPA updates as you go. To see your cumulative GPA, add your current GPA and the credits you have already completed.
Add your courses, grades and credits to see your semester GPA on a 4.0 scale. Add your current GPA to get a cumulative figure.
Cumulative GPA (optional)
Based on 12 credits this semester.
Grade points, credit hours and a weighted average. Here is the method, an example and what the number covers.
Enter one row per course, choose the letter grade and type the credit hours. The semester GPA updates as you go. To see your cumulative GPA, add your current GPA and the credits you have already completed.
Take three courses: an A in a 4-credit course (16 points), a B+ in a 3-credit course (9.9 points) and a C in a 3-credit course (6 points). That is 31.9 points over 10 credits, a 3.19 GPA. Higher-credit courses move your GPA more.
This calculator gives an unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale, which is what most colleges report. High schools that weight honors or AP courses add extra points for those classes, so a weighted GPA can be above 4.0.
Each letter grade is converted to grade points (A is 4.0, B is 3.0 and so on). Multiply the grade points by the course credits, add those up, and divide by the total credits. The result is your GPA.
The standard US 4.0 scale: A and A+ are 4.0, A- is 3.7, B+ is 3.3, B is 3.0, B- is 2.7, C+ is 2.3, C is 2.0, C- is 1.7, D+ is 1.3, D is 1.0, D- is 0.7 and F is 0. Some schools use a different scale, so check your handbook.
Enter your current GPA and the credits you have already completed in the cumulative section. The calculator combines them with this semester's courses, weighted by credits.
Semester GPA covers only the courses in one term. Cumulative GPA covers every graded course you have taken so far.
Usually not. Pass/fail and withdrawn courses normally carry no grade points, so leave them out. Your school's policy is the final word.
