How to use this calculator

  1. Add a grade and credits for each course; leave unused rows blank.
  2. The gPA updates as you type. Use Copy result or Share to keep it.

Formula

GPA=∑gi×ci∑ci

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

gᵢ
grade points for course i (A = 4.0, B+ = 3.3, …)
cᵢ
credits for course i

Worked example

  1. A (4.0) × 3 = 12.0 quality points.
  2. B+ (3.3) × 4 = 13.2.
  3. C (2.0) × 3 = 6.0.
  4. GPA = (12.0 + 13.2 + 6.0) ÷ 10 credits = 3.12.

These three courses give a GPA of 3.12.

What the result means

Courses with more credits move your GPA more. Grade scales vary: some schools give A+ 4.3, some do not use minus grades, and many countries use entirely different systems, so check your institution’s policy.

Assumptions and limits

  • A+ and A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B− = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C− = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, D− = 0.7, F = 0.
  • Rows left blank are ignored.
  • Pass/fail courses and weighted (honours/AP) scales are not included.
  • Not a conversion between national grading systems.

Questions

How do I calculate cumulative GPA?

Enter all courses from every term, or add one row per term using that term’s GPA as the grade points and its total credits; the weighted result is the same.
