GPA Calculator
Work out your semester and cumulative GPA from courses, credits and letter grades.
Semester GPA
How GPA is worked out: each letter grade has a point value (A = 4.0, B = 3.0 and so on). Multiply it by the course’s credits to get quality points, add them up and divide by the total credits. Pass/fail courses don’t count toward GPA. Some schools give A+ a 4.3 or use a different scale — check your registrar’s policy. Your courses are saved in this browser only.

Frequently asked questions
How is GPA calculated?
Multiply each course’s grade points by its credits, add them up and divide by the total credits. A B+ (3.3) in a 4-credit course adds 13.2 quality points.
What is a good GPA?
On a 4.0 scale, 3.0 is a B average and 3.5 or above is generally considered very good. Competitive programmes may expect higher.
Does an A+ count as more than 4.0?
At many schools an A+ counts as 4.0, but some give it 4.3. This calculator uses 4.0 — check your school’s policy.
