The GPA formula
Your GPA is the total quality points divided by the total credit hours:
GPA = (grade points × credits for every course) ÷ total credits
Example: You earn an A (4.0) in a 3-credit class and a B (3.0) in a 4-credit class. Quality points are 4.0 × 3 = 12 and 3.0 × 4 = 12. Total is 24 points over 7 credits, so your GPA is 24 ÷ 7 = 3.43.
Grade point scale used
This calculator uses the standard 4.0 scale with plus and minus grades. Some schools do not give an A+ more than 4.0, and a few use 4.3 for an A+. Check your school's policy if you need an exact match.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good GPA?
On a 4.0 scale, a 3.0 (a B average) is generally considered solid, 3.5 or higher is strong, and 3.7 or higher usually puts you in the top tier. What counts as good also depends on your school, your major and what you are applying for.
How is GPA calculated?
Each letter grade is converted to grade points (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0). Multiply the points by the course credits to get quality points, add them all up, then divide by the total credits.
Does this calculator work for high school and college?
Yes. The 4.0 scale is used by most US colleges and high schools. If your high school uses weighted grades for honors or AP classes, use the weighted GPA calculator.
