How to use the GPA Calculator
Your grade point average summarises academic performance in one number, and it matters for scholarships, honours, graduate school and some job applications. This calculator uses the standard 4.0 scale used by most colleges and high schools in the United States and Canada.
Add each course, its credit hours and the letter grade you earned or expect. A is 4.0, A− is 3.7, B+ is 3.3, B is 3.0 and so on down to F at zero, the scale most schools use. Each grade is multiplied by the course credits, the results are added up and divided by the total credits, so a four-credit course counts more than a one-credit course.
For high school, mark honors courses (+0.5) or AP and IB courses (+1.0) to see a weighted GPA alongside the unweighted one. To see your cumulative GPA, enter your previous GPA and the credits it covers. Add a target and the number of credits you will take next term, and the calculator tells you the term GPA you need to reach it, or warns you if it is out of reach in one term.
Schools differ, for example in whether A+ counts as 4.3, so check your handbook. Everything is calculated in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good GPA?
Above 3.0 is generally considered good and above 3.5 very good, though expectations depend on the school and programme.
What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
Unweighted GPA uses the plain 4.0 scale. Weighted GPA adds extra points for harder honors, AP or IB courses.
Do pass/fail courses count?
Usually not. Leave them out, or leave the grade empty so they are ignored.
