How GPA is calculated

Every letter grade has a grade-point value. Multiply it by the class’s credit hours to get grade points, add the grade points for all your classes, and divide by your total credit hours.

GPA = total grade points ÷ total credit hours

Example: an A (4.0) in a 3-credit class and a B (3.0) in a 4-credit class give 12 + 12 = 24 grade points over 7 credits, so the GPA is 24 ÷ 7 = 3.43.Step-by-step guide.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate my GPA?

Turn each letter grade into grade points (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0), multiply by the class’s credit hours, add everything up, and divide by the total credit hours. The calculator above does it and shows each step.

What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?

Unweighted GPA scores every class out of 4.0. Weighted GPA adds points for harder classes — commonly 0.5 for Honors and 1.0 for AP or IB — so it can go above 4.0.

Is a 3.7 GPA an A or a B?

A 3.7 is an A− on the standard 4.0 scale.

How do I work out my cumulative GPA?

Enter your current GPA and the credits it covers in the optional boxes above, then this term’s classes. Or use the cumulative GPA calculator, which starts from your transcript figures.

Which grade scale should I pick?

The one on your transcript or in your school’s catalog. Most US schools use the standard scale (A− = 3.7); some give an A+ 4.3, use thirds (A− = 3.67), or have no plus and minus.

Is anything I type sent anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser, and your entries are only remembered in this browser so they are there next time.
