How this calculator works
GPA is calculated by multiplying each course grade point by its credit hours, adding those totals together, and dividing by the total number of credits. Courses with more credits have more impact on the final GPA.

About this calculator
This GPA calculator helps students estimate grade point average using course grade points and credit hours. It is useful for checking current performance, planning semester targets, or seeing how a specific course result may affect the overall GPA.
How to use it
- Enter the grade points for each class.
- Enter the credit hours for each class.
- Review the weighted GPA result.
- Adjust course assumptions to see what grades you need to hit a target GPA.
Example
If you earn 4.0 in a 3-credit course and 3.0 in a 4-credit course, the calculator weights those classes differently when computing the final GPA.
Frequently asked questions
Does this calculator use weighted credits?
Yes. Courses with more credits count more because GPA is based on total quality points divided by total credits.
Can I use this for college GPA?
Yes, as long as your school uses a compatible grade-point system. Always confirm your institution’s exact GPA scale and rules.
Does this calculate cumulative GPA?
This version works for the classes you enter. You can use it for semester GPA or approximate cumulative GPA by entering enough course and credit data.
