GPA Calculator

Calculate credit-weighted GPA, a disclosed Honors/AP-IB bonus scenario, strict cumulative GPA, and the raw GPA needed to reach a target.

Use this result well

Inputs that matter
Courses, positive credits, letter grade, and disclosed standard/Honors/AP-IB bonus assumption; optional prior GPA/credits or target GPA/remaining credits
Output to expect
Unweighted and assumption-based weighted GPA, credits, quality points, strict cumulative GPA, and raw target requirement with four-point achievability
How it works
Credit-weighted grade points on the displayed 4.0 mapping; cumulative and target modes use exact quality-point algebra and never substitute invalid history with zero
  • Manual target inputs override the course-table current GPA only when both manual GPA and credits are supplied.
  • Official grade values, course weighting, repeats, transfer credits, dean’s lists, probation, and graduation requirements vary by institution; verify the transcript policy.

Choose your path

Built around the job you need to finish

Calculate credit-weighted semester GPA, combine valid prior history, or expose the raw GPA required for a target under a clearly disclosed planning scale.

Semester student

Calculate GPA from courses with different credits.

Enter course, credits, letter grade, and standard/Honors/AP-IB type; compare unweighted quality points with the bonus scenario.

Can reproduce 36.7 quality points over 10 credits as 3.67 and knows the bonus model may differ from school policy.

Continuing student

Combine current courses with a valid prior GPA and credits.

Use cumulative mode and supply both prior fields before reviewing combined credits and GPA.

Invalid or partial history produces an explicit block instead of silently substituting zero or semester-only GPA.

Target planner

Know whether a desired GPA is mathematically reachable over remaining credits.

Enter target and remaining credits, use the course table or start the two-field manual override, then inspect raw requirement and achievability.

Sees 4.50 as the raw requirement for 3.0/60 credits to reach 3.5 over 30 credits and understands it is outside this 4.0 model.

How it works

Credit-Weighted GPA

Each course's grade points are multiplied by its positive credits, then total quality points are divided by total credits.

GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ credits

Step-by-Step Process

Multi-step calculations show intermediate values so you can audit each stage. This transparency helps catch data-entry errors before relying on the final number.

Institution-Specific Policy

This panel models A/A+ as 4.0, +0.5 for Honors, and +1.0 for AP/IB. Verify the registrar's official scale, repeat policy, transfer-credit treatment, and standing requirements.

Example Scenarios

A student combines a valid prior GPA and completed credits with the current course table and compares the model with the official transcript.

A teacher or student uses the GPA Calculator to verify homework, demonstrate formulas, or explore what-if scenarios in class.

A student enters target GPA and remaining credits to see the raw required GPA and whether it fits a 0.0–4.0 scale.

FAQ

The credit-weighted arithmetic is exact for the displayed 4.0 mapping and bonus assumptions. Your official GPA can differ because institutions set their own grade points, weighting, repeats, transfer-credit, and rounding rules.

Yes. It is free, requires no account, and calculates in your browser.

Yes. Course entry changes to labeled mobile cards, while semester, cumulative, and target modes remain available.

It calculates unweighted and assumption-based weighted semester GPA, combines a valid prior GPA and credits, and solves the raw GPA required across remaining credits for a target.

The calculator runs in your browser and does not require student names, school identifiers, or an account. Avoid entering personally identifying transcript information into course names.
