GPA Calculator
Calculate your grade point average from letter grades and credit hours — for one term or cumulatively with your previous GPA.
| Letter grade | Percent | Grade points |

How GPA is calculated
Example: Calculus B+ (3.3 × 4 credits), English A (4.0 × 3), Biology A− (3.7 × 4) and History B (3.0 × 3) give 49 grade points ÷ 14 credits = 3.50.
Grade points on the 4.0 scale
| Letter | Points | Letter | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| A+ / A | 4.0 | C+ | 2.3 |
| A− | 3.7 | C | 2.0 |
| B+ | 3.3 | C− | 1.7 |
| B | 3.0 | D+ / D / D− | 1.3 / 1.0 / 0.7 |
| B− | 2.7 | F | 0.0 |
Some schools give 4.3 for an A+ — switch the scale to match. Weighted GPAs for honors and AP classes (often up to 5.0) are not covered.
Cumulative GPA
Enter your GPA so far and the credits it is based on to see your new cumulative GPA after this term: (old GPA × old credits + new grade points) ÷ all credits.
GPA outside the US
GPA is a US system. Students applying to American universities from abroad often need to convert their grades; many universities use an official evaluation service, so treat any conversion as an estimate.
