GPA Calculator

GPA Calculator

Compute GPA from letter grades and credit hours (4.0 scale).

Results update as you type.

How to use

Enter letter grades and matching credit hours, separated by commas. The result is a credit-weighted GPA on a 4.0 scale.

Formula

GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ(credits)
A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0 (standard 4.0 map)

Worked example

  1. Grades A,B with credits 3,3 → (4×3 + 3×3) ÷ 6 = 3.5.

Assumptions

  • Uses a common unweighted 4.0 letter map. Plus/minus scales vary by school.
  • Credits must be positive and pair one-to-one with grades.

FAQs

Does this handle A- or B+?
This build uses whole-letter points. If your school uses plus/minus, convert each course to its official point value first.
Is this weighted by credits?
Yes. A 4-credit A counts more than a 1-credit A.
Can I mix pass/fail courses?
Omit pass/fail courses that do not carry grade points, unless your school assigns points for them.
What scale is used?
A standard 4.0 map (A=4 … F=0). Confirm your institution's chart before relying on the number.
