Add each course with its letter grade and credit hours. The calculator returns your GPA on the standard 4.0 scale plus your updated cumulative GPA if you enter prior credits.
Letter grade & credit hours per course
Results computed in your browser.
Letter grades map to grade points on the 4.0 scale: A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, down to F = 0.0. The tool multiplies each course's grade points by its credit hours to get quality points, sums those, and divides by total credit hours.

Each letter grade converts to grade points (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, and so on). Multiply by credit hours to get quality points per course, sum all quality points, then divide by total credit hours. The result is your GPA.
College GPA is almost always unweighted, with a 4.0 maximum. Weighted GPA gives bonus points for AP or honors courses and can exceed 4.0, but most colleges report the unweighted figure. This tool uses the standard 4.0 scale. For weighted GPA, use the weighted GPA calculator.
High-credit courses carry the most weight, so that is where better grades have the biggest effect. Where your school replaces old grades on retakes, that option is worth considering. You can also use the cumulative GPA fields above to model what a strong term would do to your running average.
A 3.0 is a solid B average for most programs. A 3.5 or above is generally considered strong. A 3.7 or above is often the threshold for honors recognition, though the exact number depends on your school, your major, and what you are aiming for after graduation.
