GPA Calculator
Calculate your Grade Point Average quickly and easily. This free GPA calculator helps you estimate your academic performance based on course grades and credit hours.
What Is GPA?
GPA stands for Grade Point Average. It is a number that shows your average academic performance based on the grades you earn in your courses and the credit hours assigned to them.
Many schools, colleges, and universities use GPA as a standard way to evaluate student progress over a semester or across an entire academic program.
How GPA Is Calculated
GPA is calculated by multiplying each course grade point by its credit hours, adding all those values together, and then dividing by the total number of credit hours.
GPA = Total Grade Points ÷ Total Credit Hours
For example, if you take two 3-credit courses and earn an A in one and a B in the other, your GPA would be based on the weighted average of those grades.
Common GPA Scale
