Calculate your Grade Point Average instantly — add as many courses as you need
This free GPA calculator helps students find their Grade Point Average on the standard 4.0 scale. Add each course with its credit hours and letter grade, and your GPA updates instantly. You can add as many courses as you need, so it works for a single semester or for your full cumulative GPA.
It is useful for high school and college students who want to track progress, plan for scholarships or see what grades they need next term.
GPA is a weighted average of your grade points, where credit hours are the weights:
Example: Mathematics (3 credits, A = 4.0) gives 12.0 points. English (3 credits, B+ = 3.3) gives 9.9 points. Science (4 credits, A- = 3.7) gives 14.8 points. Total points are 36.7 and total credits are 10, so GPA = 36.7 ÷ 10 = 3.67.
The calculator uses this common 4.0 scale: A+ and A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C- = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, D- = 0.7, F = 0.0.
Each letter grade is converted to grade points (for example A = 4.0, B = 3.0). Multiply the grade points by the course credits, add these results for all courses, then divide by the total credits. Courses with more credits have a bigger effect on your GPA.
On a 4.0 scale, 3.0 is roughly a B average and is often the minimum for many programs and scholarships. A GPA of 3.5 or higher is generally considered strong, and very competitive programs often expect higher. Requirements differ by school, so check with yours.
An unweighted GPA uses the standard 4.0 scale for every course. A weighted GPA gives extra points for honors, AP or IB classes. This calculator uses the standard unweighted 4.0 scale.
Add all your courses from every semester into the calculator, with the credits and grade for each one. The result is your cumulative GPA across all those courses.
Yes. On the common 4.0 scale, an A- is 3.7, a B+ is 3.3 and a B- is 2.7. Many schools use this system, but some do not give A+ extra points or do not use plus and minus grades at all.
Higher grades in courses with more credits help the most. Use the calculator to test what grade you need in your remaining courses to reach a target GPA, and talk to your advisor about retake policies.
Note: Grading scales vary between schools and countries. Your official GPA is the one calculated by your institution.
