GPA Calculator — The Complete Guide

Calculate your academic standing with our free GPA calculator. This grade point average calculator handles both semester and cumulative GPA calculations — essential for college applications, scholarship eligibility, and academic planning.

How to Calculate Grades

To calculate grades, enter each course letter grade and credit hours. The standard 4.0 scale assigns: A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0. Some schools use plus/minus grades (A-=3.7, B+=3.3) which our calculator supports.

College GPA Calculator

Our college GPA calculator weighs grades by credit hours. A 4-credit A impacts your GPA more than a 2-credit A. This weighted calculation gives you an accurate picture of your academic performance across different course loads.

Semester GPA Calculator

Track your progress term-by-term with the semester GPA calculator. Enter only current semester courses to see how this term affects your standing. Compare semester GPAs to identify trends and adjust your study strategies.

Tips for GPA Calculation

  • Most colleges use a 4.0 scale; some high schools use weighted scales
  • Retaking a course may replace or average with the original grade
  • Pass/Fail courses typically do not affect GPA
  • Keep credit hours accurate — they significantly impact calculations
