How this calculator works

GPA is a weighted average. Courses with more credits count more.

  1. Enter each class name (optional), grade, and credits.
  2. The calculator converts grades to grade points.
  3. It multiplies grade points by credits, then divides by total credits.

Formula

Unweighted GPA = Sum of (Grade Points x Credit Hours) / Sum of Credit Hours

Weighted GPA = Sum of ((Grade Points + Weight Bonus) x Credit Hours) / Sum of Credit Hours

Grade Points: number value for a letter grade (often A=4.0, B=3.0, etc.)

Credit Hours: how much the class counts (ex: 4-credit class weighs more than 1-credit)

Weight Bonus: extra points for Honors/AP/IB (varies by school)

Example calculation

Courses: 4-credit A (4.0) and 3-credit B (3.0)

Quality points: (4 x 4.0) + (3 x 3.0) = 16 + 9 = 25

Total credits: 4 + 3 = 7

GPA: 25 / 7 = 3.57

How to interpret your GPA result

Your GPA is a credit-weighted average of grade points. That means two things matter most: your grades and yourcredit hours.

  • If your GPA feels lower than expected, check whether a lower grade happened in a higher-credit class.
  • If weighted GPA is enabled, honors/AP classes can increase the result—but only if they’re marked as honors/AP and your school actually applies a boost.

Use the unweighted GPA for comparisons across schools, and use the weighted GPA for planning within your own school system.

Common mistakes

  • Entering the wrong credits (semester credits vs quarter credits).
  • Forgetting that an A in a 1-credit class doesn’t offset a low grade in a 4-credit class.
  • Mixing percent grades with letter grades without using your syllabus mapping.
  • Assuming weighted GPA boosts are the same across all schools.
