What is a GPA Calculator?

A GPA (Grade Point Average) Calculator takes the letter grades you earned in your courses, assigns them a numerical value on the standard 4.0 scale, and averages them out while factoring in the credit hours of each course.

How to use this tool

For each class, type the course name (optional), enter the number of credits the course is worth (usually 3 or 4 for college), and select the letter grade you received. Click "Calculate GPA" to immediately see your result.

Formula Explanation

GPA = Total Grade Points Earned / Total Credits Attempted

Grade Points for a single class are calculated by multiplying the credit weight of the class by the 4.0 scale equivalent of your letter grade.
