About GPA calculator
Your grade point average (GPA) is the average of your grades weighted by credit hours. Each letter grade has a point value — an A is 4.0, a B is 3.0 — and multiplying it by the course’s credits gives the grade points. Add them up and divide by total credits to get your GPA. This GPA calculator does it for you.
Enter your previous cumulative GPA and total credits to see how this semester changes your overall GPA. Schools differ in how they treat A+ grades and weighted honors or AP classes, so check your school’s policy for the exact scale.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my GPA?
Multiply each grade’s point value by the course credits, add these grade points, then divide by the total credits.
What is a good GPA?
A 3.0 (B average) is generally considered good, 3.5 or higher is very good, and many competitive programs look for 3.7+.
How do plus and minus grades count?
On the standard 4.0 scale: A/A+ 4.0, A− 3.7, B+ 3.3, B 3.0, B− 2.7, C+ 2.3, C 2.0, C− 1.7, D+ 1.3, D 1.0, D− 0.7, F 0.
How do I calculate cumulative GPA?
Multiply your previous GPA by previous credits, add this semester’s grade points, and divide by all credits combined.
