GPA calculator
Weighted GPA from your course credits and grade points.
Quick answer
GPA is the average of your grade points, weighted by each course’s credits, so a course with more credits counts for more. Formula: GPA = sum of (credits × grade points) ÷ total credits. Five courses with 15 credits and 53.7 grade-point credits give a GPA of 3.58.

GPA
3.58
- Total credits
- 15.0
- Total grade points earned
- 53.7
A common 4.0 scale is A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B− = 2.7, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0. Use the scale your school publishes. Leave unused courses at 0 credits.
How is GPA calculated?
A course with more credits counts for more of your GPA. Multiply each grade point by its credits, add up, and divide by the total credits.
Enter 0 credits for rows you do not use.
Scales differ between schools, so use your own school’s grade point table.

Can you show a worked example of GPA?
Credits and grade points 3 × 4.0, 4 × 3.7, 3 × 3.0, 3 × 3.3, 2 × 4.0: points = 12 + 14.8 + 9 + 9.9 + 8 = 53.7 over 15 credits, so GPA = 3.58.
