How it works
How the GPA Calculator works
Quick answer: GPA is the credit-weighted average of grade points: multiply each course grade point by its credits, add them up, and divide by total credits.
Formula
GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ creditsOn the standard 4.0 scale, A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0, with plus and minus grades in between.
Worked example
Three courses: A in a 4-credit class (16 points), B in a 3-credit class (9 points), A- in a 3-credit class (11.1 points). GPA = 36.1 ÷ 10 = 3.61.
Assumptions and limits
- This is an unweighted GPA. Honors or AP weighting and school-specific scales are not applied.
- Pass/fail courses are usually excluded; leave them out.
Frequently asked questions
Is this weighted or unweighted?
Unweighted on the standard 4.0 scale.
How are quality points computed?
Grade points times credit hours, summed and divided by total credits.
What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
Unweighted GPA uses the 4.0 scale for every class. Weighted GPA adds extra points for honors or AP courses, so it can exceed 4.0.
