GPA Calculator

Calculate your grade point average from course credits and letter grades, or find the GPA you need in future courses to hit a target.

GPA Planning

The 4.3 grade scale used here

A+ = 4.3, A = 4, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3, B- = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2, C- = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1, D- = 0.7, F = 0. Each course's grade points (grade value × credits) are summed and divided by total credits to get GPA — so a 4-credit course affects your GPA twice as much as a 2-credit one.

How the planning tool works

It solves for the GPA you'd need across your remaining credits so that, combined with your current GPA and credits, the overall average reaches your target. If the required GPA comes out above 4.3, the target isn't reachable with a standard scale in the credits you have left.

Grading scales vary by school — some don't use +/- grades, and some weight AP/IB/honors courses differently. This calculator uses the standard unweighted 4.3 scale.

Common questions

What about P (Pass) or NP (Not Pass) grades?

Leave those courses out of the GPA calculation — pass/fail grades typically don't count toward GPA at most schools.

Can I calculate GPA for just one semester?

Yes — only enter the courses from that semester. To track a cumulative GPA across semesters, include every course you've taken.
