GPA Calculator
Calculate your grade point average on a standard 4.0 scale by entering your course letter grades and credit hours — for a single semester or your full cumulative GPA.
Grade point conversion scale
How letter grades translate into grade points on the standard 4.0 GPA scale used by most colleges and universities.
| Letter grade | Percentage range | Grade points |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 97–100% | 4.0 / 4.3 |
| A | 93–96% | 4.0 |
| A− | 90–92% | 3.7 |
| B+ | 87–89% | 3.3 |
| B | 83–86% | 3.0 |
| B− | 80–82% | 2.7 |
| C+ | 77–79% | 2.3 |
| C | 73–76% | 2.0 |
| C− | 70–72% | 1.7 |
| D | 60–69% | 1.0 |
| F | Below 60% | 0.0 |
How GPA is calculated
Each letter grade is converted into grade points, then multiplied by the course's credit hours. Add up all the grade points, divide by the total credit hours, and the result is your grade point average — weighted by how much each course actually counts.
Semester GPA vs. cumulative GPA
Your semester GPA covers only the courses from one term. Your cumulative GPA factors in every course and credit hour across your entire academic record, which is what typically appears on a transcript.
Frequently asked questions
Grade points, credit hours, cumulative GPA, and everything else students ask us.
Enter each course's letter grade and credit hours. The calculator converts every letter grade into grade points on a 4.0 scale, multiplies each by its credit hours, and divides the total grade points by the total credit hours to give you your GPA.
An unweighted GPA treats every course equally on a standard 4.0 scale regardless of difficulty. A weighted GPA gives extra grade points for honors, AP, or IB courses, often allowing a GPA above 4.0.
The 4.0 scale caps an A grade at 4.0 grade points. The 4.3 scale gives an A+ an extra boost to 4.3 grade points. Which one applies depends on your school's official grading policy.
List every course you've taken across all semesters along with its letter grade and credit hours in the calculator above. The total grade points divided by the total credit hours gives you your true cumulative GPA, not just one term's average.
Not directly — a percentage is first converted into a letter grade using your school's grading scale, and that letter grade is then converted into grade points. Use the grade point conversion table above as a general reference.
Usually not — pass/fail and audited courses typically carry no grade points and aren't included in GPA calculations, though they may still count toward your total credit hours. Check your institution's academic policy to confirm.
