Frequently asked questions
How is GPA calculated?
Each letter grade is converted to grade points (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, and so on), multiplied by the course credits, added up and divided by the total credits.
Does every school use the same scale?
No. Many U.S. schools use the 4.0 scale shown here, but some give A+ a 4.3 or use weighted scales for honors and AP classes. Check your school’s policy.
How do I calculate my cumulative GPA?
Enter your current cumulative GPA and the credits you have completed. The calculator combines them with this term’s grades, weighted by credits.
