How to Use This GPA Calculator
Enter each course you want to include, along with its credit hours and the letter grade you received (or expect to receive). The calculator instantly updates your GPA as you type, using the standard 4.0 grading scale. To calculate a cumulative GPA across multiple semesters, simply add every course from every term into the same list.
How GPA Is Calculated
Each letter grade corresponds to a grade point value (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, and so on). To find your GPA, multiply each course's grade point value by its credit hours to get that course's "quality points," add up the quality points for all your courses, then divide by your total credit hours.
