GPA Calculator: Calculate Your Grade Point Average (4.0 Scale)
Add your courses, grades, and credits to calculate your GPA instantly. Supports standard 4.0 scale for high school and college.
How to Calculate Your GPA
Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated by dividing the total grade points earned by the total credit hours attempted. Most schools use a 4.0 scale where A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, and F = 0.0.
Weighted vs. Unweighted GPA
This calculator uses the standard 4.0 unweighted scale. Weighted GPAs (which give extra points for honors or AP courses) vary by school and are not included here. Check with your registrar for your school's specific policy.
