About GPA (Grade Point Average)
The Grade Point Average (GPA) is a numerical summary of your overall academic performance, calculated by averaging the grade points earned in all courses, weighted by the number of credit hours. It provides a standardized way for institutions to evaluate academic achievement across different subjects and semesters.
Most institutions use a 4.0 scale, where an “A” typically equals 4.0 points, “B” equals 3.0, and so on. However, grading systems can vary globally — some schools may use a 5.0 or 7.0 scale, or apply plus/minus modifiers (e.g., A− = 3.7). This calculator follows the common 4.0 scale but can be adapted to your institution’s standard.
- Enter each course with its grade and credit hours.
- The tool multiplies each grade’s point value by its credit weight and sums the results.
- The total grade points are then divided by total attempted credits to compute your GPA.
- You can use this to estimate semester GPA, cumulative GPA, or predict how future grades might impact your average.
Maintaining a strong GPA is important for scholarships, academic honors, and graduate school applications. Use this tool regularly to monitor your progress and make informed academic decisions.
