About this gpa calculator
Your GPA is a credit-weighted average: an A in a 4-credit course moves it more than an A in a 1-credit lab. Add each course with its grade and credits and this calculator does the weighting for you.
How to use it
- Set the grade and credits for each course.
- Add or remove rows as needed.
- Read your GPA on the 4.0 scale.
The formula
GPA = ฮฃ (grade points ร credits) / ฮฃ credits
Worked example
An A (4.0) in a 3-credit course and a B (3.0) in a 4-credit course: (4ร3 + 3ร4) / 7 = 24/7 = 3.43.
