What this calculator does

GPA is a credit-weighted average of grade points. Courses with more credits count more.

Formula and method

GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ credits

Worked example

Calculated by this tool with its default inputs:

Inputs

  • Grading scale: US 4.0 with +/− (A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3 …)
  • Courses — one per line: name, grade, credits: Calculus, A, 4 Physics, B+, 3 History, A-, 3 Art, B, 2

Results

  • GPA: 3.583
  • Total credits: 12
  • Total grade points: 43

How to read the results

Compare GPAs only when they use the same scale.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Grading scales and conversion rules differ between schools and countries; adjust the inputs to match your institution’s official policy.
  • Pass/fail courses usually do not affect GPA.

Questions

Does A+ count as 4.3?

Only on scales that award it; choose the 4.3 scale if your school does.
