- Pick the letter grade you received for each course.
- Read your GPA and total credits in the result panel — they update automatically.
Frequently asked questions
- How is GPA calculated on the 4.0 scale?
- Each letter grade maps to grade points, for example A = 4.0, B+ = 3.3, and C = 2.0. Every course contributes its grade points multiplied by its credit hours, and the GPA is the sum of those quality points divided by the total credit hours.
- What do plus and minus grades count as?
- This calculator uses the common convention where a plus adds 0.3 and a minus subtracts 0.3, so A- = 3.7 and B+ = 3.3. A+ is capped at 4.0 at most schools, and this tool follows that rule. Some institutions use slightly different tables, so check your school’s official policy for transcripts.
- Is my data stored or sent anywhere?
- No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded to a server. If you reload the page, the rows reset, so note down your result if you need it later.
- How do I calculate my cumulative GPA across several semesters?
- Enter every course from all semesters in one list — the credit weighting takes care of the rest, since cumulative GPA is total quality points divided by total credits ever attempted. If you only know each semester’s GPA and credit count, add a row per semester using the GPA as the grade value and the semester credits as the hours.
- What is considered a good GPA?
- It depends on context. A 3.0 is a common cutoff for many internships and graduate programs, 3.5 and above is typically honor-roll territory, and competitive scholarships often expect 3.7 or higher. Admissions committees also weigh course difficulty and trend, so an upward trajectory matters alongside the raw number.
About this tool
This GPA calculator computes your grade point average on the standard 4.0 scale used by most US colleges and high schools. Add a row for each course, enter its credit hours, and pick the letter grade you earned — the calculator shows your GPA and total credits immediately and re-computes as you edit, add, or remove courses. There is no signup and no limit on the number of rows.
Behind the scenes it uses the standard quality-points method. Each letter grade maps to a point value — A is 4.0, A- is 3.7, B+ is 3.3, and so on down the scale — and each course contributes its points multiplied by its credit hours. Your GPA is the total quality points divided by the total credits, which is why a 4-credit course moves the average more than a 1-credit one. All of this runs in your browser; grades are never transmitted or stored on a server.
Students use it to check a semester result before official grades post, to plan what grades they need in remaining courses to hit a scholarship or eligibility threshold, and to experiment with what-if scenarios — change one grade in the list and watch how far the average moves. Because credits are weighted correctly, it also works for a cumulative GPA if you enter every course you have taken.
Two practical notes. First, grade-point tables vary slightly between institutions: some schools award 4.3 for an A+, others do not use plus and minus grades at all, so treat your school’s official transcript policy as the source of truth for anything formal. Second, pass/fail and withdrawn courses usually carry no grade points and are excluded from GPA, so leave them out of the list rather than entering them as zeros.
