What is a GPA calculator?
A GPA calculator turns your class grades into a grade point average, the single number schools, colleges and employers use to sum up your results. Each letter grade is worth a set number of grade points (an A is 4.0 on the standard scale), each class is weighted by its credits, and the GPA is the total of those points divided by your total credits. This calculator does that for one semester or a whole transcript, adds your earlier GPA if you have one, shows weighted and unweighted GPA side by side for Honors and AP classes, and works out the GPA you need next term to reach a target. It runs entirely in your browser.
How to use the GPA calculator
- Enter each class with its credits and grade. Pick a letter grade, or switch to Percent and type the percentage from your report card.
- Already have a GPA? Type it with the credits it covers under “Add your current GPA” to get your cumulative GPA.
- Add another semester for each term you want to include. Tick Weighted if you take Honors, AP or IB classes, then set each class level.
- Read your GPA on the right, set a target in “What GPA do I need?”, and download or print a PDF report when you are done.
GPA formulas used by this calculator
- Semester GPA
GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ creditsGrade points times credits gives the quality points for each class. Add them and divide by the credits that received a grade.- Weighted GPA
Weighted GPA = Σ((grade points + bonus) × credits) ÷ Σ creditsAdd the level bonus to each passing grade first: Honors +0.5, AP / IB +1.0, dual enrollment +1.0 by default.- Cumulative GPA
Cumulative = (current GPA × current credits + new quality points) ÷ (current credits + new credits)Never average semester GPAs directly. Each term counts in proportion to its credits.- GPA needed next term
Needed = (target × (current credits + next credits) - current quality points) ÷ next creditsIf the answer is above the top of your scale, the target needs more than one term.
GPA scale: letter grades, percentages and grade points
This is the standard 4.0 scale the calculator starts with. Many colleges give an A+ 4.3 or 4.33, and many high schools use 90/80/70 cutoffs without plus and minus grades. You can change any value with Edit grade scale.
| Letter grade | Percentage | 4.0 scale | Honors | AP / IB |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A+ | 97 to 100 | 4.0 | 4.5 | 5.0 |
| A | 93 to 96 | 4.0 | 4.5 | 5.0 |
| A- | 90 to 92 | 3.7 | 4.2 | 4.7 |
| B+ | 87 to 89 | 3.3 | 3.8 | 4.3 |
| B | 83 to 86 | 3.0 | 3.5 | 4.0 |
| B- | 80 to 82 | 2.7 | 3.2 | 3.7 |
| C+ | 77 to 79 | 2.3 | 2.8 | 3.3 |
| C | 73 to 76 | 2.0 | 2.5 | 3.0 |
| C- | 70 to 72 | 1.7 | 2.2 | 2.7 |
| D+ | 67 to 69 | 1.3 | 1.8 | 2.3 |
| D | 63 to 66 | 1.0 | 1.5 | 2.0 |
| D- | 60 to 62 | 0.7 | 1.2 | 1.7 |
| F | Below 60 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 |
Why use this GPA calculator
- Every semester on one pageAdd as many terms as you need. Each one shows its own GPA, and the panel on the right keeps a running cumulative GPA across all of them.
- Know what you need next termType a target GPA and the credits you will take, and the planner tells you the average you need, or how many credits it takes if the goal is out of reach this term.
- Weighted and unweighted togetherMark a class as Honors, AP, IB or dual enrollment and see both numbers at once, the way colleges and high school transcripts report them.
- Your school’s scale, not oursTurn plus and minus grades on or off, set A+ to 4.0, 4.3 or 4.33, and edit every grade point and percentage cutoff in the scale table.
- A clean PDF reportDownload or print a one-page summary with every course, each term’s GPA, your cumulative GPA and your goal. Handy for advisors, counselors and scholarship forms.
- Private and freeNo account, no email and no limit. Your grades are saved in this browser only, so they are still here next time and never reach a server.
When students use a GPA calculator
- Before and after finals. Try different final grades to see where your semester GPA will land, then enter the real grades when they post.
- College and scholarship applications. Work out the weighted and unweighted GPA that applications ask for, using your own school’s scale.
- Getting off academic probation. Find the term GPA you need to climb back above a 2.0 or the minimum your program sets.
- Transfer and graduate school. Combine your transcript GPA with this term’s grades to see the cumulative GPA a transfer or grad school application will show.
- Honor roll and Latin honors. Check whether you are on track for the honor roll, dean’s list or cum laude cutoffs your school uses.
- Parents checking report cards. Turn a report card full of percentages into a GPA in a minute, without signing up for anything.

Grades, finals and study tools
Need your grade in one class rather than your GPA? Use the grade calculator for weighted assignments, or the final grade calculator to see the score you need on a final exam. For quick sums try the percentage calculator or the average calculator. When it is time to study, the Pomodoro timer keeps you focused, the citation generator formats your references, and the math editor writes equations for homework.
Example: one college semester
English Composition (3 credits, A = 4.0) gives 12 quality points, Calculus I (4 credits, B+ = 3.3) gives 13.2, Intro to Psychology (3 credits, A- = 3.7) gives 11.1, General Chemistry (4 credits, B = 3.0) gives 12, and Chemistry Lab (1 credit, A) gives 4. That is 52.3 quality points over 15 credits, so the semester GPA is 52.3 ÷ 15 = 3.49. To reach a 3.50 cumulative GPA after another 15 credits, you need a 3.51 next term, roughly A- grades.
What to expect from the result
Results use the grade points, percentage cutoffs and credits you enter, so they match your official GPA when those match your school’s rules. Retaken classes, transfer credit, grade forgiveness and school-specific rounding are not applied automatically: remove or adjust those classes yourself. GPAs are shown to two decimals.
GPA Calculator questions
How do I calculate my GPA?
Turn each grade into grade points (A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0 on a standard 4.0 scale), multiply by the class credits, add those quality points up, and divide by the total credits. For example, an A in a 3 credit class and a B in a 4 credit class gives (12 + 12) ÷ 7 = 3.43.
How do I calculate cumulative GPA?
Multiply your current GPA by the credits it covers to get your quality points so far, add the quality points from your new classes, then divide by all the credits together. A 3.20 over 45 credits plus a 3.49 term over 15 credits is (144 + 52.3) ÷ 60 = 3.27.
What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
Unweighted GPA uses the same 4.0 scale for every class. Weighted GPA adds bonus points for harder classes, usually +0.5 for Honors and +1.0 for AP, IB or dual enrollment, so an A in an AP class counts as 5.0. Many colleges look at both and some recalculate GPA with their own rules.
What is an A+ or an A- worth?
On the most common 4.0 scale an A- is 3.7, a B+ is 3.3 and a B- is 2.7. An A+ is usually 4.0, but some colleges give 4.3 or 4.33. Pick your school’s value next to “A+ counts as”, or edit any grade in the scale table.
Do pass/fail, withdrawn and incomplete grades count?
Usually not. P, NP, W and I grades carry no grade points, so this calculator leaves them out of both the credits and the GPA. Some schools count an NP or a late withdrawal as an F; if yours does, enter F instead.
What is a good GPA?
A 3.0 (a B average) is the usual cutoff for scholarships, honor societies and many graduate programs. A 3.5 or higher is strong for competitive colleges and jobs. For high school, compare your GPA with your school’s average and the middle range published by the colleges you are applying to.
