GPA Calculator
Use our GPA calculator to quickly calculate your Grade Point Average. Add each course, select the letter grade you received (A+, A, B+, etc.) and enter the credit hours. The calculator uses the standard US 4.0 scale and weights each course by its credit hours for an accurate cumulative GPA.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is GPA calculated?
GPA = Total Grade Points ÷ Total Credit Hours. Each letter grade has a point value (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0). Each course's grade points are multiplied by its credit hours, summed up, and divided by total credit hours. This gives a weighted average that accounts for heavier courses.
What is a good GPA?
On the 4.0 scale: 3.5–4.0 is excellent (Dean's List level), 3.0–3.49 is good, 2.5–2.99 is average, below 2.0 may put you on academic probation. Many graduate programs require a minimum 3.0 GPA for admission.
What is the difference between GPA and CGPA?
GPA (Grade Point Average) usually refers to a single semester or term. CGPA (Cumulative GPA) is the average across all completed semesters. Our calculator computes the GPA for the courses you enter — to get your CGPA, include all courses from all semesters.
Does an A+ count as 4.0 or 4.3?
It depends on the institution. Some schools cap the scale at 4.0 (A+ = 4.0), while others use a 4.3 scale where A+ = 4.3. Our calculator uses the 4.3 scale with A+ = 4.3, which gives a more granular result.
