How to use this gpa calculator
This GPA calculator uses a standard 4.0 grade-point mapping and weights each course by its credit hours. Your university may use a different grading scale, so always compare the result with your institution rules.
You can add or remove course rows and calculate as many subjects as you need.
Formula
GPA = Total weighted grade points ÷ Total credit hours
Worked example
An A (4.0) in a 3-credit course contributes 12 grade points. A B (3.0) in another 3-credit course contributes 9. Total: 21 ÷ 6 = 3.50 GPA.
Step-by-step
- Add each course.
- Choose the grade and credit hours.
- Calculate your weighted GPA.
Frequently asked questions
Does every university use the same GPA scale?
No. Some institutions use different grade points or maximum scales. Check your official policy.
Why are credit hours important?
Courses with more credit hours have a larger effect on a weighted GPA.
Can I calculate GPA without course names?
Yes. Course names are optional because the calculation only needs grades and credits.
