The GPA Calculator works out your grade point average on the standard U.S. 4.0 scale. Add each course with its letter grade and credit hours and it computes your credit-weighted GPA, total credits, and quality points — saved privately in your browser.
Your GPA
3.63
Cum laude / Dean’s list range
Uses the standard U.S. 4.0 scale (A/A+ = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, and so on). Your courses are saved privately in this browser.
How This Tool Works
Add a row for each course, pick its letter grade, and enter how many credit hours it is worth. Your GPA updates instantly as a credit-weighted average, and your list is saved in your browser for next time.
Formula & Method
GPA = total quality points ÷ total credit hours. Each course earns quality points equal to its grade value on the 4.0 scale (A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, and so on) multiplied by its credit hours.
Example Calculation
Three courses — an A (3 credits), a B+ (4 credits), and an A− (3 credits) — give quality points of 12.0 + 13.2 + 11.1 = 36.3 over 10 credits, for a GPA of about 3.63.
Frequently Asked Questions
What grade scale does this use?+
The standard unweighted U.S. 4.0 scale: A and A+ = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B− = 2.7, and so on down to F = 0.0. Your school may weight honors or AP courses differently.
How is GPA actually calculated?+
It is a credit-weighted average, not a simple average. Each course grade is multiplied by its credit hours to get quality points; GPA is the total quality points divided by the total credit hours.
Can I calculate both semester and cumulative GPA?+
Yes. Add just this semester's courses for your semester GPA, or add every course you have taken for your cumulative GPA.
Is my course data private?+
Yes — your courses are saved only in your own browser using local storage, never uploaded to a server, and no account is required.
