How the College GPA Calculator Works
Each course earns quality points equal to its grade point value times its credit hours — an A (4.0) in a 3-credit class is 12 quality points. Your semester GPA is the total quality points divided by the total credits. Add a row for each course, choose the letter grade and enter the credits.
To roll this term into your overall standing, enter your prior cumulative GPA and the credits it was based on. The calculator combines them with this term to give a new cumulative GPA. This uses the standard 4.0 scale; some schools weight honours or A+ differently.
GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ credits
Frequently Asked Questions
How is college GPA calculated?
Multiply each course’s grade point value (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, and so on) by its credit hours to get quality points, add those up, and divide by the total credits. The result is your GPA on a 4.0 scale.
How do I include my previous GPA?
Enter your prior cumulative GPA and the number of credits it covers in the optional fields. The calculator weights your old and new credits together to produce an updated cumulative GPA.
Do plus and minus grades matter?
Yes. On most 4.0 scales an A− is 3.7 and a B+ is 3.3, so they pull your GPA up or down between the whole-letter values. This calculator uses that common plus/minus scale.
