Student GPA Calculator

Work out a weighted grade point average from your courses: enter each course name, letter grade and credit hours, pick the grading scale (4.0, 4.0 with A+, or 4.3), and see the GPA, total credits and quality points update live, plus what grade you would need on a target course to hit a goal GPA. Runs in your browser.

What this tool does

It turns a list of course grades and credit hours into a single weighted grade point average, and shows the working so the number is not a mystery.

How a weighted GPA is calculated

Each course contributes its grade point value multiplied by its credit hours — that product is the course's quality points. The GPA is the sum of quality points divided by the sum of credit hours, so a heavier course moves the average more.

Grading scales

Three are offered. The plain 4.0 scale treats A and A+ alike. The 4.0-with-A+ scale still caps at 4.0 but is explicit about it. The 4.3 scale gives A+ a 4.3 value, which some universities use. Pick the one your institution publishes.

Target-grade planner

Enter a goal GPA and how many more credit hours you have left, and the tool reports the average grade point value you need across those credits to reach the goal — and tells you if the goal is already out of reach or already met.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a weighted and an unweighted GPA?
A weighted GPA multiplies each grade by the course credit hours before averaging, so a 4-credit course counts twice as much as a 2-credit course. This tool calculates the weighted GPA, which is the standard for university transcripts.
Which scale should I choose?
Use the one your school publishes. Many US schools cap at 4.0 and treat A+ as 4.0. Some use a 4.3 scale where A+ is worth 4.3. If you are not sure, the plain 4.0 scale is the safest default.
How does the target-grade planner work?
It takes your current quality points and credits, adds the goal GPA multiplied by your remaining credits, and solves for the average grade points you must earn on those remaining credits. A result above the scale maximum means the goal cannot be reached.
Can I include a course with a grade of F?
Yes. An F contributes 0 grade points but its credit hours still count in the denominator, which is why a failed course lowers a GPA sharply.
Does it handle pass/fail or audited courses?
Leave those out. Pass/fail and audit courses usually carry no grade points and are excluded from GPA at most institutions.
Is my data uploaded?
No. The courses are stored only in your browser local storage and the calculation runs locally.
