GPA calculator
A grade point average is a credit-weighted mean, which is why a poor grade in a four-credit course hurts more than the same grade in a one-credit elective. Add your courses and the GPA updates as you type.
How to use the gpa calculator
- Choose whether you are entering letter grades or grade points directly.
- Add a row for each course with its credit hours and grade.
- Read your GPA, total credits and quality points, with a per-course breakdown underneath.
How it works
Each course earns quality points equal to its grade point multiplied by its credit hours. GPA is the sum of quality points divided by the sum of credit hours. On the standard 4.0 scale an A is 4.0, an A− is 3.7, a B+ is 3.3 and so on down to 0 for an F.
Scales differ between institutions. Some treat A+ as 4.0 and others as 4.3; many Indian universities use a 10-point scale; several Pakistani universities cap at 4.0 but convert from percentages using their own table. Check your handbook, then use the grade-point mode to enter your institution's exact values rather than assuming.
Common questions
How do I calculate GPA with credit hours?
Multiply each grade point by the course's credit hours, add those products, and divide by the total credit hours. This page does it for any number of courses.
Do failed courses count?
Usually yes — an F contributes 0 quality points but still adds its credit hours to the denominator, which is why one failure pulls a GPA down sharply.
What is a good GPA?
Context decides it. Above 3.0 is generally solid, above 3.5 is strong, and many scholarships and graduate programmes set their cut-off at 3.0 or 3.3.
