GPA Calculator
Free GPA calculator. Add your courses, grades, and credit hours to calculate your weighted or unweighted grade point average on a 4.0 scale.
How GPA is calculated
Each letter grade maps to a point value on a 4.0 scale (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, and so on). Your GPA is the average of those points weighted by credit hours— a 4-credit class counts more than a 1-credit class. Multiply each grade’s points by its credits, add them up, and divide by total credits.
Weighted vs unweighted
This is an unweighted GPA. Some high schools use a weighted scale that gives honors or AP classes extra points (e.g. an A in AP = 5.0). To approximate that, enter the boosted value via a higher-credit class or check your school’s specific policy.
Frequently asked questions
How is GPA calculated?⌄
Each grade is worth a point value (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, and so on), weighted by the course's credit hours. GPA is the total points divided by total credits.
What's the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?⌄
Unweighted GPA caps at 4.0; weighted GPA gives extra points for honors or AP classes (an A in AP might count as 5.0). This tool calculates unweighted GPA.
What is a good GPA?⌄
A 3.0 is solid, 3.5+ is strong, and 3.7+ is typically considered excellent. Requirements vary by school and program.
