GPA is calculated by multiplying each course's grade points by its credit hours, summing all values, then dividing by total credits. Weighted GPA adds extra points for honors/AP courses.
GPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credits) / Σ(Credits)
A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0
Weighted GPA adds 0.5-1.0 points for honors/AP courses
Most colleges look at unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale
Credit hours affect GPA more than number of courses
Retaking a course may replace the old grade (check your school's policy)
A 3.0 GPA is typically required for many scholarships
Calculate your GPA instantly with our free GPA calculator. Works for high school and college students with support for weighted and unweighted GPA, cumulative calculations, and multiple grading scales. See exactly what grades you need to reach your goals.
GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated by dividing total grade points by total credit hours. Each letter grade has a point value: A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0. Multiply each grade's points by the course credits, sum them up, then divide by total credits.
Unweighted GPA uses the standard 4.0 scale for all courses. Weighted GPA adds extra points (typically 0.5-1.0) for honors, AP, or IB courses, allowing GPAs above 4.0. Most colleges recalculate to unweighted for fair comparison between schools.
Calculate your college GPA using credit hours and letter grades. Track your semester GPA and cumulative GPA across all terms. Most colleges require a 2.0 minimum for good standing and 3.0+ for dean's list or honors.
Calculate your high school GPA for college applications. Understand how weighted courses affect your GPA and class rank. Competitive colleges typically look for 3.5-4.0 unweighted GPA alongside test scores and extracurriculars.
Convert between letter grades, percentages, and GPA points. Standard conversion: A (90-100%) = 4.0, B (80-89%) = 3.0, C (70-79%) = 2.0, D (60-69%) = 1.0, F (below 60%) = 0.0. Plus/minus grades add or subtract 0.3 points.
