GPA Calculator

GPA Calculator works out a grade point average by weighting each course by its credit hours, which is how institutions actually calculate it. A four-credit course counts twice as heavily as a two-credit one, so a simple average of letter grades gives the wrong answer whenever credits differ.

Grades can be entered as letters with plus and minus modifiers, or as points directly when your institution uses a scale this does not match. The standard 4.0 scale is the default, with 4.3 available for institutions that award more than 4.0 for an A plus.

A cumulative option carries forward your existing GPA and total credits, so you can see what this term does to your overall average. The planning view answers the other common question: what grades would this term need for the cumulative figure to reach a target.

• Weighted by credit hours
• Letter grades with plus and minus, or direct point entry
• 4.0 and 4.3 scales
• Add, remove and reorder courses
• Cumulative GPA from a previous average and credit total
• Shows total credits and total grade points
• Flags courses missing a grade or credit value

The gpa calculator is used by writers, developers, students, marketers and anyone else who needs the job done once without installing software. Common cases include:

• Working out a term GPA before results are posted
• Checking a cumulative average across several terms
• Seeing how a single course affects an overall GPA
• Comparing what different grades would produce
• Converting letter grades into a numerical average
