Grade point average weights each course's grade by how many credit hours it's worth, so a 4-credit A counts more toward your GPA than a 1-credit A. This calculator lets you add each course's letter grade and credit hours, then computes the weighted average automatically on the standard 4.0 scale.
Add or remove course rows as needed — the GPA recalculates instantly with every change.

Frequently asked questions
What grade scale does this use?
The standard US 4.0 scale (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0), which is the most widely used system, though some schools use variations with plus/minus grades.
Can I calculate a cumulative GPA across multiple semesters?
Yes, add every course from every semester you want included — the calculator doesn't distinguish between semesters, it just weights every course by its credit hours.
