What is GPA?
Grade Point Average (GPA) is a numerical representation of your academic performance. It's calculated by averaging the grade points of all your courses, weighted by credit hours. Colleges and employers often use GPA to assess academic achievement.
Grade Conversions
Standard grade conversions on 4.0 scale: A+ and A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C- = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, F = 0.0. Some schools have variations in these conversions.
How to Calculate GPA
Multiply each course grade point by its credit hours, sum all results, then divide by total credit hours. Our calculator does this automatically. Add all your courses and the GPA updates in real-time.
Weighted vs Unweighted
Unweighted GPA treats all courses equally. Weighted GPA gives more value to harder courses like AP or honors classes. This calculator uses credit-weighted GPA, standard for college admissions.
Improving Your GPA
Future grades have the most impact on GPA. One excellent grade significantly helps if you had poor grades before. Taking more courses also allows better GPA recovery.
