GPA From Credit Points
Calculator

GPA is a credit-weighted average, meaning a grade in a 4-credit course counts more toward your GPA than the same grade in a 1-credit course. Without credit hours, the calculation would just be a simple average, which doesn't reflect how most institutions actually compute GPA.

Each letter grade maps to a numeric value on your institution's scale, most commonly A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, and F=0.0, sometimes with plus/minus increments of 0.3 or 0.33. Always check your school's official scale, since some use a 4.3 or 4.5 maximum instead of 4.0.

Typically no: pass/fail courses are usually excluded from GPA calculations entirely, though they still count toward credits earned. Include only courses that were graded on the standard letter or numeric scale used by your institution.

Grade points are the result of multiplying a course's numeric grade value by its credit hours; GPA is the sum of all grade points divided by the sum of all credit hours attempted. The calculator does this division for you across every course you enter.

Small discrepancies often come from repeated courses (some schools only count the latest attempt), rounding conventions, or transfer credits that carry hours but not grade points. Check your institution's specific GPA policy for how these edge cases are handled.
