Free online GPA calculator
This GPA calculator works out your grade point average on the standard 4.0 scale. Add each course with its letter grade and credit hours, and it computes a credit-weighted GPA instantly — the same way your college registrar does it.
Why credit hours matter
GPA isn't a simple average of your grades. A course worth more credit hours pulls harder on your GPA, so an A in a 4-credit class counts more than an A in a 1-credit seminar. This calculator multiplies each grade's points by its credits before averaging, which is why entering credit hours accurately is essential.
Plan your semester
Use it to project outcomes: enter the grades you expect and see the resulting GPA, or try a different grade in one tough class to see how much it moves the needle. Add and remove courses freely — everything recalculates live. Your grades are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is GPA calculated?
Each letter grade maps to grade points (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, and so on). Multiply each course's points by its credit hours, add those up, then divide by the total credit hours. This tool does it as you type.
What is a weighted GPA?
This calculator uses credit-hour weighting, so a 4-credit course counts twice as much as a 2-credit one. That's the standard college method, and it's why credits matter as much as grades.
What grade points does it use?
The common unweighted 4.0 scale: A/A+ = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7, and so on down to F = 0.0. It's the scale most U.S. colleges use.
Can I add all my courses?
Yes. Add a row for every course, set its grade and credit hours, and the GPA and total credits update instantly. Remove any course to see how it changes your average.
What is a good GPA?
Broadly: 3.5+ is excellent, 3.0–3.5 is solid, and 2.0 is usually the minimum to stay in good standing. Requirements vary by school and program, so check your institution's rules.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your grades are processed in your browser and never uploaded, so the tool works offline and keeps your academic data private.
