GPA Calculator
Add your courses, grades, and credit hours to calculate a weighted GPA. This calculator uses common 4.0-scale grade points by default and is intended for planning, not official transcript reporting.

What this GPA Calculator does
This GPA Calculator estimates your weighted grade point average from course grades and credit hours. It multiplies each course grade value by its credits, adds the results, and divides by total credits.
How to calculate GPA
For each course, multiply the grade points by the credit hours. Then add all grade points together and divide by the total number of credits.
GPA = total grade points ÷ total credits
Weighted GPA example
If a 3-credit course has an A worth 4.0 points, it contributes 12 grade points. If a 4-credit course has a B worth 3.0 points, it contributes 12 grade points. Together, those courses produce 24 grade points over 7 credits, for a GPA of 3.43.
Common GPA scale assumptions
This MVP uses a common 4.0 scale with plus/minus grades. Schools can use different rules, so your official GPA may differ from this estimate.
FAQ
What is a 4.0 GPA scale?
A 4.0 scale usually assigns A-level work near 4.0 points, B-level work near 3.0 points, C-level work near 2.0 points, and so on.
Does this calculate weighted GPA?
Yes. Credit hours are used as weights, so a 4-credit class affects the result more than a 1-credit class.
What if my school uses plus/minus grades?
The calculator includes common plus/minus grade values. Your school may use different values, so check your institution’s policy.
Can I calculate semester GPA and cumulative GPA?
You can use the same method for either. Enter only current semester courses for semester GPA, or include all relevant courses for cumulative GPA planning.
Why might my official GPA differ?
Schools may use different grade scales, repeat-course rules, transfer-credit rules, rounding rules, and transcript policies.
