How it works
Multiply each course grade-point value by its credits, add the weighted points, then divide by total credits. This calculator uses a 4.0 scale.
Standard formula
Σ(grade points × credits) / Σ creditsWorked example
A 4-point course worth 3 credits contributes 12 weighted points. Four courses are combined according to their credit values.
Frequently Asked Questions
What GPA scale is used?
The inputs are limited to a 4.0 scale. Convert another grading system before entering values.
Why do credits matter?
A course with more credits has a larger effect on the weighted average.
Does this calculate a letter grade?
No. It returns the numeric GPA; institutions may map it to letters differently.
Are the results exact?
The GPA calculation uses the values you enter and keeps calculation precision internally. Check the assumptions before using the result for a decision.
