What is my GPA?
Put in each course, the grade you got and how many credits it was worth.
Put in at least one grade and its credits, and your GPA will show up here.
How to calculate GPA
A grade point average is not the average of your grades. Each course is worth a number of credits, and a course worth more credits pulls the result further than a smaller one.
Put in each course with the grade you got and the credits it carried. Multiply each grade's points by its credits, add those together, then divide by the total credits — that is your GPA.
Which 4.0 scale your school uses
Most American schools give an A four points, a B three, a C two and a D one. Where they differ is plus and minus grades: some award an A− 3.7 and a B+ 3.3, and some give every A a flat 4.0.
That choice changes the answer, so it is a setting here rather than something we decide for you, and the points are printed beside every grade. If your school works on a ten-point scale, choose to type the points directly.
Common questions
How do I calculate my GPA?
Enter each course, its grade and how many credits it was worth. The average appears as you type.
By hand: multiply each grade's points by its credits, add all of those, then divide by the total number of credits.
Why is my GPA not the average of my grades?
Because credits weight it. An A in a one-credit class counts far less than a C in a four-credit one.
Two courses, an A worth 4 credits and a C worth 1, give a GPA of 3.6 — not the 3.0 you would get by averaging the grades.
What is the difference between GPA and CGPA?
A GPA usually covers one term or one set of courses. A CGPA is cumulative — every semester so far, combined.
Use the CGPA calculator for the second, putting in each semester's GPA and the credits that semester carried.
Does this handle weighted GPA for honours or AP classes?
Not directly, and it is worth knowing why. Weighted scales award extra points for harder courses — often an A in an AP class counts as 5 rather than 4 — and how much extra is decided by each school.
You can still use this: choose the option to type grade points and enter whatever your school awards, including 5.0 where it applies.
