How it works

Each letter grade maps to grade points (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, etc.). Multiply each course's grade points by its credit hours, sum the results, and divide by the total credit hours.

GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ(credits)

Worked examples

  • Weighted average

    An A (3 credits), a B (3 credits) and an A- (4 credits) gives (12 + 9 + 14.8) ÷ 10 = 3.58 GPA.

  • Unweighted

    If all courses carry equal weight, GPA is simply the average of the grade points.

Frequently asked questions

What is a GPA?

Grade Point Average is the weighted average of your course grades, typically on a 0.0–4.0 scale.

What is a good GPA?

A 3.0 (B average) is solid, 3.5 or above is strong, and 4.0 is a perfect straight-A record.

What is a weighted GPA?

Weighted GPAs give extra points for honors or AP/IB courses, often on a scale above 4.0. This calculator uses a standard unweighted 4.0 scale.
