How GPA is calculated

Each letter grade is converted to grade points, multiplied by the course’s credit hours, added up, and divided by the total credits. Example: an A (4.0) in a 3-credit class and a B (3.0) in a 4-credit class gives (12 + 12) ÷ 7 = 3.43.

A+ / AA−B+BB−C+CC−D+DD−F
4.03.73.33.02.72.32.01.71.31.00.70.0

Weighted GPA

Many high schools add +0.5 for Honors and +1.0 for AP, IB or dual-enrollment classes (an A in AP counts as 5.0). Colleges usually report unweighted GPA. Check your school’s policy, as scales vary.

Cumulative GPA

Enter your current GPA and completed credits to see how this semester changes your overall GPA: (current GPA × old credits + semester points) ÷ total credits.
