About GPA Calculator
Calculates your grade point average from a list of courses, their credit hours, and their letter grades, on the US 4.0 scale, the US 4.3 scale (A+ = 4.3) or India's 10-point CGPA scale. It can weight Honors and AP courses and add a previous GPA to give your cumulative GPA.
Pick your grading scale, add each course with its credit hours and grade, and your GPA updates as you edit. Use the bin button on a row to remove a course.
Some schools use a slightly different scale for plus/minus grades (an A- might be 3.7 or 3.67 depending on the institution) — check your school's specific scale if you need an exact match to your official transcript.
Watch: GPA Calculator in Action
- Will this match my school's official GPA exactly?
- It uses the standard 4.0 scale, but some schools use a slightly different scale for plus/minus grades (an A- might be 3.7 or 3.67 depending on the institution). Check your school's specific scale if you need an exact match to your official transcript.
- What grade points do the US scales use?
- Both give 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 and F 0. They differ only in A+, which is 4.0 on the 4.0 scale and 4.3 on the 4.3 scale.
- What values does the India 10-point scale use?
- O is 10, A+ 9, A 8, B+ 7, B 6, C 5, P 4 and F 0. The result is called CGPA, and the card adds an approximate percentage by multiplying by 9.5, a common university rule but not universal.
- How does weighting work?
- With Weighted ticked, an Honors course adds 0.5 and an AP / IB course adds 1.0 to its grade point, so an AP A counts as 5.0. The bonus is skipped for an F, and the option does not exist on the India scale.
- How is the cumulative GPA calculated?
- Your previous GPA multiplied by previous credits is added to this term's quality points, and the sum is divided by the combined credits. So a long history with many credits changes only slowly when you add one term.
- Why does my result differ from my school's?
- Schools differ. Some use 3.67 for an A-, some count only the best attempt of a repeated course, and rounding rules vary. This tool uses the fixed values above, so treat the answer as an estimate and check it against your transcript.
How to use GPA Calculator
Choose a Grading scale: US 4.0 (A+ = 4.0), US 4.3 (A+ = 4.3) or India 10-point CGPA. Two sample courses are already listed. Edit the course name, enter Credits, and pick the letter from the grade menu; use Add Course for more rows and the bin icon to remove one. The result card updates after every change and shows total credits and quality points.
On the US scales, tick Weighted (Honors +0.5, AP +1.0), and a Regular, Honors or AP / IB menu appears on each row. To include earlier terms, tick Include my previous GPA (cumulative) and enter Previous GPA and Previous credits. Rows with missing or zero credits show a red note and are left out of the result.
When to use it
Helpful at the end of a term to see your semester average, before applying for a scholarship or society that asks for a minimum, or to test what grades you need next term by changing one row and watching the cumulative figure move. The India option also converts a CGPA to an approximate percentage for forms that ask for one.
When not to use it
Do not treat the result as your official GPA. Registrars may drop repeated courses, count pass/fail grades differently, round by their own rules, or give each plus and minus its own value. For applications, quote the figure printed on your transcript, and ask a credential evaluation service if your school's scale is not one of the three offered here.
Tips for best results
Credits matter as much as grades: a heavy course moves the average further than a light one with the same letter. Use the cumulative option with the GPA and graded credits from your transcript to see the new total directly, instead of averaging two GPAs by hand. Leave Weighted off if your school reports an unweighted number. Credits such as 1.5 work, and a comma is accepted as the decimal mark.
Limitations
Grade points are fixed in the tool, with no custom scales, no percentage entry and no pass/fail or withdrawn status, so any course that should not count has to be removed. Weighting is a flat bonus added only to passing grades and is not offered on the India scale. A previous GPA is accepted only up to one point above the chosen scale's maximum, and is otherwise ignored.
Privacy
Course names, credits and grades are calculated inside your browser and held only in the page while it is open. The tool does not ask for an account, save a profile or put your grades into any request; the site only counts, anonymously, that the tool was used. Closing or reloading the tab clears everything you entered.
