How it works

## How it works

Each grade is worth points (A is 4.0, B is 3.0, C is 2.0, D is 1.0, F is 0, with plus and minus steps). **GPA = total of (points x credits) divided by total credits.** To add an earlier record, enter your GPA and credits so far.

Example: an A in a 3 credit course (12 points), a B+ in a 4 credit course (13.2 points) and a B in a 2 credit course (6 points) give 31.2 points over 9 credits, a GPA of 3.47. If you had 3.2 over 60 credits, the cumulative GPA is (31.2 + 192) / 69 = 3.23.

FAQ

## About this calculator

**Which scale does it use?**

A 4.0 scale with A at 4.0, A- at 3.7, B+ at 3.3 and so on. Some schools score an A+ higher or use different plus and minus values, so check your school's scale for official numbers.

**Does it handle weighted or honors GPAs?**

No. It uses the standard unweighted scale. Weighted systems add points for honors and AP courses and vary by school.

**How do I enter a pass or withdrawn course?**

Leave it out. Pass and withdrawn grades usually do not count toward GPA.

**Is this my official GPA?**

No. Your school computes the official figure. This is an estimate for planning.

**Is anything saved?**

No. The math runs in your browser and nothing you enter is sent to us.
