GPA Calculator
Calculate GPA from grade points and credits.
Understanding GPA Calculator
Grade point average combines course performance using the weight assigned to each course. A course with more credits usually contributes more to the average, so listing credits beside grade points is essential. Start with the maximum scale used on your transcript, such as four, five or ten, and enter numeric grade points already assigned by your institution. This tool does not convert letter grades automatically because the same letter can have different values under different policies. For each row it multiplies the grade point by course credits, adds those weighted points and divides by the total credits. This produces an average on the original scale, not a percentage. Include failed courses, repeated courses and transferred credits only as directed by your official policy. A zero grade point is allowed if the course has positive credits. A zero-credit course cannot affect this weighted average and should be excluded from the entered rows.
Use official numeric grade points. This tool does not infer how a university handles repeated attempts, withdrawals or pass/fail coursework.
Formula
GPA = sum(course grade point × course credits) ÷ total credits
Worked example
A 3.0 grade in 3 credits and 4.0 in 1 credit gives (9 + 4)/4 = 3.25.
