GPA calculation
Calculate your GPA from grades and credits
Applications, scholarships, and degree audits all come down to one number. The GPA calculator works out your semester or cumulative GPA from grades and credits locally, and the final grade calculator plans the score you need next.
Calculate in four steps
Enter each course once; the calculator does the weighting.

Read the result
The GPA appears with the total credits and points.
How GPA is calculated
Each grade converts to points on the scale, the points are multiplied by the course credits, and the total is divided by the total credits. That credit weighting is what distinguishes a real GPA from a simple average.
For a single course target, the grade calculator answers how a future grade would change the GPA.
GPA mistakes to avoid
- Averaging grades without weighting by credits
- Using the wrong grade scale for the school
- Mixing plus and minus grading inconsistently
Best practices
- Weight every course by its credit count
- Confirm the scale with your registrar
- Use the grade calculator to plan the next semester
