GPA Calculator
Calculate your semester GPA and optional cumulative GPA using course credits and grade points.
Courses
Add each course, credit value, and grade.
GPA Results
GPA rules can vary by school, university, course weighting policy, repeated-course policy, pass/fail treatment, and grading scale. Use this calculator as an estimate and check your institution’s official rules when exact academic records matter.
Use this GPA Calculator to calculate semester GPA and estimate cumulative GPA using course credits and grade points.
GPA Calculation Method
Each course contributes quality points based on its grade point and credit value:
Course quality points = grade point × course credits
Semester GPA = total quality points ÷ total semester credits
Courses with more credits therefore have a greater effect on GPA than courses with fewer credits.
To estimate cumulative GPA:
Previous quality points = current GPA × completed credits
Cumulative GPA = (previous quality points + semester quality points) ÷ (completed credits + semester credits)
Example
Suppose a student takes three courses:
- 3 credits at 4.0 = 12.0 quality points
- 4 credits at 3.0 = 12.0 quality points
- 3 credits at 3.5 = 10.5 quality points
Total quality points = 12 + 12 + 10.5 = 34.5
Total credits = 3 + 4 + 3 = 10
Semester GPA = 34.5 ÷ 10 = 3.45
The estimated semester GPA is 3.45.
Important Notes
- Select the grading scale used by your school, college, or university.
- Enter the correct credit value and grade point for each course.
- Pass/fail, repeated, withdrawn, transferred, or incomplete courses may be treated differently by different institutions.
- Weighted 5.0 or 10.0 grading systems are not standardized across all schools.
- The academic standing shown by the calculator is only a general estimate. Official GPA and academic standing are determined by your institution.
