GPA Calculator

Grade Point Average (GPA) is a standardized way of measuring academic achievement in the United States and many other countries. It converts letter grades to numerical values on a scale (typically 4.0), then calculates a weighted average based on credit hours.

GPA is crucial for college admissions, scholarship eligibility, academic standing, honor roll qualification, and graduate school applications. Most colleges use a 4.0 scale where A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, and F=0.0, with plus/minus variations adding or subtracting 0.3.

The calculation multiplies each course's grade points by its credit hours, sums these products, then divides by total credit hours. This weighting ensures that a 4-credit course impacts your GPA more than a 1-credit course, reflecting the actual workload and importance.

This calculator uses the standard 4.0 scale and handles semester GPA calculations. Whether you're planning your course load, checking academic standing, or calculating scholarship eligibility, this tool provides accurate GPA calculations with clear breakdowns.
