GPA Calculator
Compute GPA from letter grades and credit hours, including cumulative GPA.
How to use this tool
- Add each course: letter grade and credit hours.
- Toggle honors weighting if applicable.
- Optionally add prior cumulative GPA and credits.
- See term GPA and the updated cumulative GPA.
How it works
Points per grade x credits summed over total credits. Cumulative blends prior (points x credits) with this term's.
Tips
- Enter prior semester data to keep the cumulative number honest.
- Check your school's mapping for +/0 grade modifiers if used.
Limitations
Uses a standard 4.0 unmodified scale; some schools cap or scale differently.
Frequently asked questions
How is GPA calculated?
Each grade maps to points (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1). GPA = sum(points x credits) / sum(credits).
How do I add previous semesters?
Enter prior GPA and credits earned, and the calculator blends them with the current term.
Do honors classes weigh more?
Yes — an honors toggle adds +0.5 points before averaging.
