FAQ
How is GPA calculated?
GPA is calculated by assigning a point value to each grade (e.g., A=4.0, B=3.0), multiplying by the credit hours for that course, summing them up, and dividing by total credit hours.
What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
Unweighted GPA is on a 4.0 scale regardless of course difficulty. Weighted GPA accounts for the difficulty of courses (Advanced Placement or Honors) and is typically on a 5.0 scale.
Can I calculate my cumulative GPA?
Yes, just add your current cumulative GPA and total credits earned to the calculator to see how your current semester affects your overall average.

GPA Formula
Grade Point Average
Each letter grade maps to points (A=4.0, B=3.0, …). Weight by credit hours and divide by total credits.
Example:
Input: A(3cr) + B(4cr)
Calculation: (4×3 + 3×4) / 7
Result: 3.43 GPA
Cumulative GPA
Combine prior record with the current term.
Example:
Input: 3.5×60 + 24 points / 67
Calculation: (210 + 24)/67
Result: ≈ 3.49
