Calculate Your Grade Point Average
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is a crucial measure of academic performance used by schools, colleges, and employers. It's calculated by averaging the grade points earned in each course, weighted by credit hours. Our calculator makes it easy to determine your current GPA or project future grades.
?Frequently Asked Questions
How is GPA calculated?
GPA is calculated by multiplying each course grade point by its credit hours, summing these values, and dividing by total credit hours. For example: (A × 3 credits + B × 4 credits) / 7 credits.
What is a good GPA?
A GPA of 3.0 (B average) is typically considered good. A 3.5+ is very good, and 3.7+ is excellent. Requirements vary by institution and purpose (graduate school, jobs, etc.).
What's the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
Unweighted GPA treats all classes equally (4.0 scale). Weighted GPA gives extra points for honors/AP classes (can exceed 4.0). Our calculator uses the standard 4.0 scale.
Do credit hours matter?
Yes! A 4-credit course affects your GPA more than a 2-credit course. Our calculator properly weights grades by credit hours for accurate results.
