Enter your real courses, grades, and credit hours - not a rough estimate. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere; this runs entirely in your browser. This one uses the US 4.0 scale; if you are studying elsewhere, the international GPA calculator covers the Australian 7-point scale, UK classifications, Indian CGPA, the inverted German scale and more.
The reverse question: given where you are, what does this term have to average to reach your target cumulative GPA?
GPA is a credit-weighted average, not a simple average of your grades - a 4-credit class counts more than a 1-credit class. Each grade converts to points on the 4.0 scale, gets multiplied by that course's credit hours to get "quality points," and the GPA is the total quality points divided by total credits.
Worked example: an A (4.0) in a 3-credit class, a B+ (3.3) in a 4-credit class, and a C (2.0) in a 3-credit class: quality points = (4.0×3) + (3.3×4) + (2.0×3) = 12 + 13.2 + 6 = 31.2. Total credits = 3+4+3 = 10. GPA = 31.2 ÷ 10 = 3.12.
| Letter | Points | Letter | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| A / A+ | 4.0 | C | 2.0 |
| A- | 3.7 | C- | 1.7 |
| B+ | 3.3 | D+ | 1.3 |
| B | 3.0 | D | 1.0 |
| B- | 2.7 | D- | 0.7 |
| C+ | 2.3 | F | 0.0 |
Weighted GPA gives bonus points for harder courses: this uses the common convention of +1.0 for AP/IB courses and +0.5 for Honors courses, added on top of the standard grade points above. Percentage-to-letter cutoffs and whether plus/minus grading is used at all genuinely vary by school - use your own school's published scale if it differs from the standard one shown here.
