How it works
List each course on its own line with the letter grade and the number of credits. The course name is optional. Each grade is converted to grade points, multiplied by the credits, and the total is divided by total credits.
The scale used is the common US 4.0 scale: A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, and so on down to D− = 0.7 and F = 0. Some schools give 4.3 for an A+; choose that option if yours does. You can also type grade points directly, such as 3.5.
To see your new cumulative GPA, enter your GPA and credits from previous terms. Check your school’s handbook, since pass/fail courses and repeated classes are often handled differently.
Formula
GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ credits
Questions people ask
What GPA is a B+ average?
A B+ is 3.3 on the standard 4.0 scale. A 3.5 GPA is halfway between B+ and A−.
Do pass/fail classes count toward GPA?
Usually not. Passed courses earn credit but no grade points, so leave them out of this calculator. A failing grade in a pass/fail course is sometimes counted as an F; check your school’s policy.
How is cumulative GPA calculated?
Multiply your old GPA by your old credits to get past quality points, add this term’s quality points, and divide by the combined credits.
Does this handle weighted high school GPAs?
Not directly. Weighted scales add 0.5 or 1.0 for honors and AP courses. You can type the weighted grade points (for example 4.5 or 5.0) in place of a letter, up to 5.0.
