GPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credits) / Σ(Credits)

GPA Calculator - Grade Point Average Calculator

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.

How to Calculate GPA

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.

Weighted vs Unweighted GPA Calculator

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.

College GPA Calculator

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.

High School GPA Calculator

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.

GPA Conversion & Grade Scale

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.
