Multiply each course grade by its credit hours to get quality points, sum them, and divide by total credit hours. A 3-credit A (4.0) and a 4-credit B (3.0) = 24 quality points, divided by 7 credits = 3.43 GPA. Our GPA calculator does this automatically and supports both weighted and unweighted scales. The GPA calculator also handles plus/minus grades and repeated courses.
How it works
Our gpa calculator lets you compute weighted GPA from a list of courses and grades, in four steps.
For every class, type the course name, credit hours, and the grade you expect or received. Use the letter grade dropdown or enter a percentage.
Add a row for every course in the term. The calculator recomputes the GPA live as you add or edit courses.
If you are computing cumulative GPA, add your prior credit hours and prior GPA. The calculator combines this with the current semester.
The result shows your semester GPA, cumulative GPA (if prior data is added), and a breakdown of total credits, quality points, and letter grade distribution.
Master academic planning with expert guidance on GPA calculations, grade tracking, study time management, and educational goal setting.
