What is a GPA Calculator?
A GPA (Grade Point Average) calculator is an educational tool that computes your academic performance based on course grades, credit hours, and course weights. Our GPA calculator supports the standard 4.0 scale used by most colleges and universities, where A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, and F=0.0. It handles weighted courses like AP (Advanced Placement), IB (International Baccalaureate), and Honors classes that receive bonus points, and can track multiple semesters while maintaining cumulative GPA calculations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the weighted GPA calculation work?
Weighted GPA adds bonus points to course grades: AP/IB courses add 1.0 point, Honors courses add 0.5 points, and Regular/College courses add 0.0 points. The maximum GPA remains 4.0 after weighting. For example, an A in an AP course becomes 4.0 + 1.0 = 4.0 (capped at 4.0).
What grade scale does the calculator use?
The calculator uses the standard 4.0 scale: A+ and A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C- = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, D- = 0.7, F = 0.0.
Can I include my previous GPA and credits?
Yes, you can enter your previous GPA and total credits earned to calculate an accurate cumulative GPA that includes both your past academic performance and current coursework.
How do I organize courses by semester?
When adding courses, select the appropriate semester from the dropdown menu. You can then filter the view to show all semesters or focus on a specific semester to see individual semester GPAs.
