GPA calculator

Enter course credits and your school’s grade-point values. Understand how this semester changes your overall average.

Your starting point

Example inputs
CourseCreditsGrade points

Enter your school’s points directly. Select Exclude only if its policy excludes the course.

How it works

GPA = Σ(course grade points × credits) ÷ GPA-counted credits. Cumulative GPA includes previous quality points and credits.

A worked example

An A worth 4.0 in a four-credit course and a B worth 3.0 in a two-credit course produce a 3.6667 semester GPA, not 3.5.

Assumptions to check

Enter your institution’s grade points directly. Exclude pass/fail or withdrawal courses only when your institution excludes them. No universal percentage-to-GPA conversion is assumed.

A few useful answers

Does this support Canadian grading scales?

You can enter a confirmed maximum scale and course grade-point values. Check your institution’s conversion and exclusion rules first.

Are honors or AP bonuses automatic?

No. Enter confirmed grade-point values yourself. Mixing different GPA systems can give a misleading result.

Planning estimates, not official academic results. Your course and institution set the rules.

MAKE THE ANSWER USEFUL

From this result to your next step.

Use one grading scale consistently

Enter the grade points assigned by your institution and the credits that count toward GPA. Do not paste percentage marks into a 4.0 field. Pass/fail exclusions, repeated courses and grade replacement need the rules from your own institution.

Let credits determine the weight

Two semesters with different credit loads should not receive equal weight. Review the counted credit total before using a cumulative result. Save a snapshot after actual results arrive so an estimated target does not become a mistaken record of your transcript.
