GPA Calculator
Add your courses, grades and credits to see your GPA instantly. It works out unweighted and weighted GPA with Honors and AP or IB courses, adds earlier terms for your cumulative GPA, supports 4.0, 4.3 and India's 10-point CGPA scales, and tells you the GPA you need next term to reach your goal.
Free · No sign-up
How to use it
- Choose your grading scale: 4.0 or 4.3 for the US, or the 10-point scale used in India.
- For each course, pick the grade and enter the credits (or hours). For Honors and AP or IB courses, set the course level to get your weighted GPA.
- To get your cumulative GPA, open Add earlier terms and enter your current GPA and the credits already completed.
- Open the target planner to see the average you need in your remaining credits to reach a goal GPA.
Why use this tool
Weighted and unweighted
Honors courses add 0.5 and AP, IB or dual-enrolment courses add 1.0, so you see both GPAs side by side.
Cumulative GPA
Combine this term with your earlier GPA and credits to see your new overall GPA.
4.0, 4.3 and 10-point
US letter grades from A+ to F, and India's UGC 10-point grades from O to F with a percentage estimate.
Target planner
Find the average you need in your remaining credits to reach 3.0, 3.5 or any goal, and whether it is still possible.
Credit-weighted
A 4-credit course counts twice as much as a 2-credit one, exactly as on your transcript.

How to calculate your GPA
Multiply each course's grade points by its credits, add the results, then divide by the total credits. For example: A (4.0) in a 3-credit course = 12 points, B+ (3.3) in a 4-credit course = 13.2 points and B (3.0) in a 3-credit course = 9 points. That is 34.2 points ÷ 10 credits = a 3.42 GPA.
Courses with more credits carry more weight. A pass/fail course or a withdrawal usually has no grade points and is left out.
| Letter grade | Percentage (typical) | 4.0 scale | Honors | AP / IB |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A+ | 97–100 | 4.0 (4.3 on a 4.3 scale) | 4.5 | 5.0 |
| A | 93–96 | 4.0 | 4.5 | 5.0 |
| A- | 90–92 | 3.7 | 4.2 | 4.7 |
| B+ | 87–89 | 3.3 | 3.8 | 4.3 |
| B | 83–86 | 3.0 | 3.5 | 4.0 |
| B- | 80–82 | 2.7 | 3.2 | 3.7 |
| C+ | 77–79 | 2.3 | 2.8 | 3.3 |
| C | 73–76 | 2.0 | 2.5 | 3.0 |
| C- | 70–72 | 1.7 | 2.2 | 2.7 |
| D+ | 67–69 | 1.3 | 1.3 | 1.3 |
| D | 63–66 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 |
| D- | 60–62 | 0.7 | 0.7 | 0.7 |
| F | Below 60 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 |
Weighted vs. unweighted GPA
An unweighted GPA treats every course the same, so the maximum is 4.0. A weighted GPA rewards harder courses: many high schools add 0.5 for Honors and 1.0 for AP, IB or college courses, so a weighted GPA can go above 4.0. D and F grades usually get no bonus.
Schools differ, and many colleges recalculate GPA their own way, often unweighted and using only core subjects. Check your school's handbook for the exact rules. If you are converting grades from another system for a US application, many colleges use a credential service such as WES and their own conversion, so treat any self-made conversion as an estimate.
CGPA on the 10-point scale (India)
Under the UGC choice-based credit system, grades are O (10), A+ (9), A (8), B+ (7), B (6), C (5), P (4) and F (0). The SGPA for a semester and the CGPA across semesters are both credit-weighted averages, worked out exactly like a US GPA.
To convert CGPA to a percentage, CBSE uses CGPA × 9.5, so 8.2 is about 77.9%. Many universities publish their own formula, for example (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 under AICTE; always use the one printed on your marksheet when applying.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my GPA?
Multiply each grade's points by the course credits, add them up and divide by the total credits. The calculator does this as you type.
How do I calculate my cumulative GPA?
Open Add earlier terms and enter your current cumulative GPA and the credits you have completed. The calculator combines them with this term's courses, weighted by credits.
Is a 3.5 GPA good?
Yes. A 3.5 is a B+/A- average, above the typical US college average of about 3.1 to 3.3, and meets the cut-off for many scholarships and honours programmes.
Can a GPA be higher than 4.0?
An unweighted GPA cannot. A weighted GPA can, because Honors and AP or IB courses earn extra points. On a 4.3 scale, an A+ is worth 4.3.
How many credits is a course?
Most US college courses are 3 credits, labs often 1, and high school courses usually 1 credit per year or 0.5 per semester. Use the numbers on your transcript; if every course counts the same, enter 1 for each.
How do I raise my GPA?
Open the target planner, enter the GPA you want and the credits you still have to take. It shows the average you need. Because earlier credits already count, raising a GPA gets harder the more credits you have.
