GPA Calculator
Calculate your weighted GPA from grade points and credit hours.
Your GPA is a weighted average of grade points across all your courses, weighted by credit hours — not a simple average, since a 4-credit course counts more than a 1-credit course.
Why credit hours change the math
A student with an A (4.0) in a 1-credit seminar and a C (2.0) in a 4-credit core course doesn't have a 3.0 GPA — the core course counts four times as much, pulling the weighted average closer to 2.4. Always weight by credit hours, not by simply averaging your letter grades.
Frequently asked questions
What grade point scale does this use?
This uses a standard 4.0 scale — enter your own grade points directly if your school uses a different scale, like a 5.0 weighted system for honors courses.
Does this calculate cumulative GPA across multiple semesters?
Yes, as long as you include every course and its credit hours from every semester you want included.
