- What-if scenarios. Try different grades on upcoming courses to see what you'd need to reach a target GPA.
- Scholarship and honors checks. Confirm whether you're on track for a GPA cutoff required by a scholarship, honors program or graduate school.
Tips
- GPA is weighted by credit hours, so a high grade in a 4-credit course moves your GPA more than the same grade in a 1-credit course.
- This uses the standard US 4.0 scale (A = 4.0 down to F = 0). Some schools use plus/minus values that vary slightly — check your registrar.
- To find the grades you need next term, add hypothetical future courses and adjust until you hit your target.
- Retaking a failed course can raise your GPA if your school replaces the old grade — check your institution's policy.
Troubleshooting
- My school uses a different scale.
- This tool uses the common 4.0 scale with standard plus/minus points. If your school assigns different point values (e.g. A+ = 4.3), your official GPA may differ slightly.
- How do I handle pass/fail courses?
- Pass/fail courses usually don't count toward GPA. Simply leave them out of the list, or remove that row.
Frequently asked questions
- How is GPA calculated?
- Each course's grade points (letter grade value × credit hours) are summed, then divided by total credit hours. That gives a credit-weighted average — your GPA.
- What scale does this use?
- The standard US 4.0 scale: A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, and so on down to F = 0. Grades are weighted by credit hours.
- What's the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
- This calculates a credit-weighted GPA (bigger courses count more). Some high schools add extra points for honors/AP courses — that's a different kind of weighting this tool doesn't apply.
- Can I calculate my cumulative GPA?
- Yes. Add every course from every term into the list and the result is your cumulative GPA across all of them.
- Is my grade information private?
- Completely. Nothing you enter leaves your browser — there's no upload and no storage.
