GPA Calculator

Calculate your GPA on the 4.0 scale. Add each course’s letter grade and credit hours; switch on weighted GPA for Honors (+0.5) and AP/IB (+1.0) courses.

GPA (4.0 scale)
4.00

How it works

  1. 1Add each course with its letter grade and credit hours.
  2. 2Each letter maps to grade points (A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, …).
  3. 3GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ(credits).
  4. 4For weighted GPA, Honors adds +0.5 and AP/IB adds +1.0 to each course’s points.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?

Unweighted GPA uses a 4.0 max for every course. Weighted GPA adds bonus points for harder courses (Honors +0.5, AP/IB +1.0), so it can exceed 4.0.

How do I calculate GPA with credit hours?

Multiply each course’s grade points by its credits, add them up, then divide by total credits.

What GPA is an A average?

A straight-A average is a 4.0 unweighted GPA.
