How the GPA Calculator works
Add each course with its credit hours and letter grade. The calculator converts each grade to standard grade points, weights it by credit hours, and finds your overall GPA on a 4.0 scale.
Frequently asked questions
How is weighted GPA calculated?
Each course's grade points are multiplied by its credit hours, then all courses are summed and divided by total credit hours — so a 4-credit A counts more than a 1-credit A.
Does this support plus/minus grades?
Yes — select from A+ through F, including plus and minus variants, each mapped to standard 4.0-scale grade points.
