How to use the GPA calculator
- Choose the scale. Pick whether an A+ is worth 4.0 or 4.3 at your school.
- Add each course's credits and grade. A course name is optional. Add or remove rows as needed; rows without both credits and a grade are skipped.
- Add your GPA so far for a cumulative result. Enter your current GPA and the credits it covers, from your transcript.
The 4.0 grade scale
This is the scale most US colleges and high schools use for unweighted GPAs. Plus and minus steps are 0.3 apart, except that an A+ is capped at 4.0 unless you choose the 4.3 option.
| Grade | Points | Grade | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| A+ | 4.0 (or 4.3) | C | 2.0 |
| A | 4.0 | C− | 1.7 |
| A− | 3.7 | D+ | 1.3 |
| B+ | 3.3 | D | 1.0 |
| B | 3.0 | D− | 0.7 |
| B− | 2.7 | F | 0.0 |
| C+ | 2.3 |
Worked example
Four courses: Biology, 3 credits, A (3 × 4.0 = 12); Calculus, 4 credits, B+ (4 × 3.3 = 13.2); History, 3 credits, B− (3 × 2.7 = 8.1); and Spanish, 2 credits, C (2 × 2.0 = 4).
That's 37.3 grade points over 12 credits: 37.3 ÷ 12 = 3.108, a term GPA of 3.11. With a GPA of 3.40 over 30 earlier credits, the new cumulative GPA is (3.40 × 30 + 37.3) ÷ 42 = 139.3 ÷ 42 = 3.32.
Tips
Credits change the weight. A 4-credit course moves your GPA more than a 1-credit lab, so a better grade in a bigger course raises the average most.
Your school's figure is the official one. Schools differ on A+ values, weighted honors or AP courses, repeated courses and rounding. This calculator uses the unweighted scale above and rounds to 2 decimals.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my GPA?
Multiply each course's grade points by its credits, add those up, and divide by the total credits. An A (4.0) in a 3-credit course and a B (3.0) in a 4-credit course: (12 + 12) ÷ 7 = 3.43.
How do I work out my cumulative GPA?
Multiply your previous GPA by the credits it covers to get your earlier grade points, add this term's grade points, and divide by all credits together. A 3.40 over 30 credits plus a 3.11 term over 12 credits: (102 + 37.3) ÷ 42 = 3.32.
Is an A+ worth 4.0 or 4.3?
It depends on the school. Most US colleges cap grades at 4.0, so an A+ counts the same as an A. Some give an A+ 4.3. Choose the option that matches your school's transcript; the table under the calculator shows every grade's points.
Do pass/fail or withdrawn courses count?
Usually not. Pass/fail, withdrawn (W) and incomplete courses normally earn no grade points and aren't part of the GPA, so leave them out. Failed courses (F) do count, with 0 points.
