How to use the GPA calculator
- For each class, choose the letter grade you got (or expect).
- Enter its credits — 1 for a full-year high school class, or the credit hours for a college course.
- Set the level: Regular, Honors, or AP / IB / College.
Your unweighted GPA and weighted GPA update after every change. Name a class if it helps you keep track; rows without a grade are left out.
How GPA is calculated
GPA = sum of (grade points × credits) ÷ total credits. Grade points come from the 4.0 scale in the table on this page. A 4-credit A and a 3-credit B give (4.0 × 4 + 3.0 × 3) ÷ 7 = 3.57.
The weighted GPA uses the same formula after adding the level bonus to each passing grade: an A in an AP class counts as 5.0 and a B in an Honors class as 3.5.
Semester, cumulative or target GPA?
This page works out the GPA of one list of classes — a semester or a school year. To combine it with the GPA you already have, use the cumulative GPA calculator. To see what you need from here on to hit a goal, try the GPA raise calculator, and to turn a percentage grade into GPA points, see percentage to GPA.
