GPA Calculator
Weighted grade point average from courses, credits, and grades.
Guide: GPA Calculator
Compute semester or cumulative GPA as credit-weighted average grade points. Add rows for each course, enter credits and grade points, then calculate. GPA compresses a transcript into one number for screening, yet admissions offices still read course rigor, trends over semesters, and institutional context alongside the headline figure.
Institution-specific scales
Schools differ on plus/minus mapping, repeated courses, and honors weighting. Align your grade-point mapping with your handbook before relying on results for transcripts.
Some programs cap weighted honors GPA differently; verify whether A+ exists on your scale or maps to 4.0 flat.
Credit weighting intuition
A one-credit lab moves GPA less than a four-credit core lecture when grades differ. That is why credit hours belong in the denominator.
Recovery planning
If one semester dips, model how many future credit hours at higher grades are needed to reach a target cumulative GPA—this motivates realistic course loads.
