🎓Formula

GPA = ÎŖ(Grade Points × Credit Hours) / ÎŖ(Credit Hours)

💡How it works

Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated by multiplying each course's grade points by its credit hours, summing all results, then dividing by total credit hours. This weighted average gives more importance to courses with higher credit values.

ℹī¸ What is GPA Calculator?

A GPA (Grade Point Average) calculator converts letter grades and credit hours into a cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale. It is essential for academic planning, scholarship applications, graduate school eligibility, and understanding your academic standing.

📐 Formula

GPA = ÎŖ(Grade Points × Credit Hours) / ÎŖ(Credit Hours)
Grade Points— A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0
Credit Hours— Weight of each course (typically 1–5)
Quality Points— Grade Points × Credit Hours per course

✏ī¸ Worked Example

Math (A, 4 credits): 4.0 × 4 = 16
English (B, 3 credits): 3.0 × 3 = 9
History (C, 3 credits): 2.0 × 3 = 6
  1. 1Total Quality Points = 16 + 9 + 6 = 31
  2. 2Total Credit Hours = 4 + 3 + 3 = 10
  3. 3GPA = 31 / 10 = 3.10
✅ Result: GPA = 3.10 / 4.0
