How is GPA calculated?
GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated by multiplying each course's grade points by its credit hours, summing those values, and dividing by the total credit hours. For example: A (4.0) × 3 credits + B (3.0) × 4 credits = 24 points ÷ 7 credits = 3.43 GPA.
This calculator uses the standard 4.0 scale: 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.
GPA scales and grading systems vary by institution and country. This calculator uses the common US 4.0 scale as a general reference.
