What is the GPA Calculator?

The GPA Calculator works out your semester grade point average from your course grades and credit hours. Add each course, pick its letter grade, enter its credit hours, and the tool weights every grade by its credits to return your GPA, total credits, total grade points, and equivalent letter grade on the standard 4.0 scale.

How to Use It

Click "Add Course" for each class you're including, select the letter grade you earned (or expect) from the dropdown, and enter its credit hours. Press "Calculate GPA" to see the weighted result instantly, or "Reset" to start over with a fresh set of three course rows.

When to Use It

Use it at the end of a term to confirm your semester GPA, mid-term to project where you'll land based on current grades, or when planning how a future exam or assignment grade would shift your average. It's also useful for checking eligibility thresholds for scholarships, honors, or graduate program applications.

Who Benefits

High school and college students tracking their academic standing, and parents helping monitor progress, will find it faster than doing the weighted-average math by hand. Because it uses credit-weighted quality points rather than a simple average, it matches how most schools actually calculate GPA.

Frequently Asked Questions

GPA = Total Quality Points ÷ Total Credit Hours. Quality points = grade points × credit hours for each course. Example: an A (4.0) in a 3-credit course = 12 quality points. Add all quality points, divide by total credits.
The standard US scale: A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B− = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C− = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, D− = 0.7, F = 0.0. Some schools use a 4.3 or 5.0 scale for honors/AP courses.
For most colleges: 3.5+ is considered excellent, 3.0–3.4 is good, 2.5–2.9 is average. For graduate school, most programs want 3.0 minimum, competitive programs want 3.5+. For employment, many companies only consider GPA for entry-level positions within 2–3 years of graduation.
