GPA Calculator
Grade point average from total grade points and credits.
How it works
GPA = total grade points ÷ total credits
Sum each course’s grade points × credits, then divide by total credits. Usually on a 4.0 scale.
Worked example
Four courses: 4.0 (3 credits), 3.7 (3), 3.3 (4), 3.0 (2):
Grade points = 4.0×3 + 3.7×3 + 3.3×4 + 3.0×2 = 12 + 11.1 + 13.2 + 6 = 42.3
Credits = 12, so GPA = 42.3 ÷ 12 ≈ 3.53.
Notes and limitations
Scales differ (4.0, 4.3, 5.0) and so does the treatment of plus/minus grades. Weighted (by credit) and unweighted (by course) GPAs also differ. When applying, use the target institution’s conversion rule.
