GPA Calculator
Calculate GPA from the courses you include, using a stated letter-grade example or known numerical grade points. Optionally combine the term with compatible previous quality points and GPA credits.
Enter the record you want to aggregate
- Choose the 4.0 letter example or Manual grade points. Enter positive GPA credits and a grade or point value for every included course. Uncheck rows your institution excludes; an included F or zero-point grade still counts its GPA credits.
- For a combined result, enable the previous record and enter its quality points and GPA credits in the same grade-point scale. These must be compatible, nonoverlapping totals, not a rounded prior GPA or total earned credits.
- Select Calculate GPA and inspect the included products, totals and division. Copy summary keeps the current qualified result. Clear starts again; changing entry format clears grades and previous totals while keeping course credits and inclusion choices.
Understand points, credits and the quotient
Each included course contributes grade points multiplied by its GPA credits. Add those quality points, add the included GPA credits, and divide. A zero-point grade adds zero quality points but still adds its included credits.
The 4.0 letter example uses A+ and A at 4, A- at 3.7, and the displayed plus/minus table down to F at 0. Schools and programs differ. Manual entry uses already-known points from 0 to 10; it does not convert percentages or define a universal ten-point system.
A combined GPA adds previous and current quality points, then previous and current GPA credits, before dividing. Averaging two displayed GPAs without their denominators gives each term equal weight, which can be wrong.
Products and totals retain admitted decimal precision. GPA is displayed to three decimals, nearest with exact halfway values upward. An approximation mark identifies a changed quotient; a tiny positive value is shown as a positive bound rather than a false zero. Institutions can use another precision or truncation rule.
Worked course and previous-record examples
A at 4 points with 3 credits, B at 3 with 4, C at 2 with 2, and F at 0 with 1 produce 28 quality points over 10 GPA credits. The term GPA is exactly 2.800; excluding the F would change the denominator and answer.
Manual points 3.33 with 1.25 credits and 2.67 with 2.5 credits contribute 4.1625 and 6.675 quality points. Their total 10.8375 divided by 3.75 gives exactly 2.890.
Previous totals of 60 points over 20 credits, plus a term with 40 over 10, combine to 100 over 30, displayed as approximately 3.333. The unweighted average of the two GPAs would be 3.500 and would not represent this record.
Mapping, input and record limits
This is arithmetic on entered inclusions, not a transcript or academic-policy engine. It does not choose repeat, transfer, pass/fail, graduate, honors, admission or graduation rules. A new repeat may require correcting old totals before combining; merely appending to stale totals cannot make that adjustment.
The letter example is one stated mapping; real A+ values include 4.0, 4.3 and 4.33, and some systems use different scales. Use comparable known points and GPA credits. Translation into a language does not provide that country’s institutional policy or convert marks automatically.
Up to 50 rows are supported. Included course credits are 0.001–100 and manual points 0–10, with up to three decimals. Previous GPA credits are 0–100000 with three decimals; previous quality points are 0–1000000 with six. Signs, grouping, exponents, excess precision and inconsistent active totals are rejected rather than rounded silently.
A displayed previous GPA generally cannot recover its original quality points. Only actual previous points and GPA credits are accepted for combination. No included current credits means no calculated GPA; included zero-point courses with positive credits instead give a genuine zero. Official reporting can differ from this tool’s three-decimal half-up display.
A local calculation without student identifiers
The tool adds no transcript upload, course or student names, saved grade history, input-bearing link or telemetry carrying your entries. Copy is explicit. Existing site services, browser extensions and copies you retain are outside a universal privacy or erasure promise.
