How to use GPA Calculator
- Review the input labels and replace the sample values with your own details.
- Check the units, options and any grading rules. The method below explains this tool’s assumptions.
- Use the action button to generate your result. Review it before copying, downloading or printing.
Method and assumptions
Enter one row per course or semester. Use numeric grade points from your institution. Weighted average = Σ(points × credits) ÷ Σcredits. Credits must be positive. GPA and CGPA scales vary, so set the maximum to your own scale.
Worked example
A 3.0 in a 3-credit course and 4.0 in a 1-credit course give (9+4)/4 = 3.25.
Enter this example above, then change one input and compare the result. This helps you see which part of the method responds to the change.
Understanding your result
Read the main answer first, then review any supporting values, units or messages. An input warning means you should correct the relevant field and run the tool again.
For a useful comparison, change one input at a time and record both results. Avoid rounding intermediate values when checking calculations by hand.
Tips and common mistakes
