College GPA Calculator
Add a row for each course, enter credit hours and the letter grade, and we compute your weighted semester GPA on the standard 4.0 scale — plus your total credits and quality points.
Enter credit hours as numbers (1, 3, 4, etc.). Only courses with a positive credit value are counted toward your GPA.

How it works
We assign each letter grade a point value, multiply by the course's credit hours to get quality points, and divide the sum of quality points by the sum of credits.
GPA · Σ(grade × credits) ÷ Σ(credits)
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 = 0.0
Frequently asked questions
Each letter grade has a quality-point value (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, etc.). Multiply each course's points by its credit hours, sum those products, then divide by the total credit hours. The result is your weighted grade-point average.
A 4-credit course shapes your transcript more than a 1-credit one. Weighting by credits makes a B in a heavy science course count more than a B in a one-credit elective.
The standard 4.0 scale, where A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, and so on down to F = 0.0. Some schools cap A+ at 4.33; this calculator caps A+ at 4.0, which is the most common policy.
No. Pass/fail (P/NP), audit, and incomplete grades are typically excluded from GPA. Only enter courses where you received a letter grade.
