About the GPA calculator
Your grade point average is the average of your course grades weighted by credits. Each letter grade is worth grade points on a 4.0 scale (A is 4.0, B is 3.0, C is 2.0, D is 1.0 and F is 0), with plus and minus grades adjusting the value, for example A- is 3.7 and B+ is 3.3.
Add a row for every course, choose the grade and enter the credits. Courses with 0 credits are ignored. To work out a cumulative GPA, enter your earlier GPA and the credits behind it. Schools use slightly different scales, so check yours for the official value.
Formula
- Quality points = grade points × credits
- GPA = total quality points ÷ total credits
Example
A (3 credits), B+ (3), B (4) and A- (2) give 12 + 9.9 + 12 + 7.4 = 41.3 quality points over 12 credits, so the GPA is 3.44.
