GPA Calculator — Semester & Cumulative Grade Point Average4.0 Scale · CGPA · Weighted GPA · Letter Grade · Credit Hours · College & High School
Use this free GPA Calculator to instantly compute your Grade Point Average (GPA) for any semester, academic year, or cumulative record using the standard 4.0 GPA scale — the most widely used academic grading system across schools, colleges, and universities in the US, India, Canada, and Australia. Enter your course names, letter grades (A, B, C, D, F), and credit hours per course to automatically calculate your weighted GPA using the standard grade point values: A = 4.0 · B = 3.0 · C = 2.0 · D = 1.0 · F = 0.0 — with full support for plus/minus grading (A+, A, A−, B+, B, B−) and automatic total quality points and credit hours aggregation.
This online GPA calculator supports all major academic GPA calculation scenarios: semester GPA calculation for current term performance · cumulative GPA (CGPA) across all semesters and academic years · college & university GPA for undergraduate and postgraduate programs · high school GPA for college admissions & scholarship applications · target GPA calculator — grades needed to reach a GPA goal · graduate school GPA requirements — MBA, MS, PhD admissions. A strong GPA score is a decisive factor in university admissions, merit scholarship eligibility, dean's list and honor roll qualification, campus placement and graduate job recruitment, student visa applications, and study abroad program eligibility — making accurate, up-to-date GPA tracking essential for every student's academic and career success. Trusted by high school students, undergraduate and postgraduate college students, academic advisors, and international students applying to US, UK, Canadian, and Australian universities.
⚠ Academic Disclaimer: GPA calculation methods, grading scales, and credit systems vary significantly by institution, country, and degree program. This calculator uses the standard 4.0 unweighted GPA scale as a baseline — some institutions use a 5.0 weighted GPA scale for AP, IB, and honors courses, while others apply percentage-based grading (e.g., 10-point CGPA scale used by Indian universities under CBSE, SGPA, and UGC guidelines). Always verify your institution's official grade point equivalency table, credit hour system, and GPA calculation policy before using these results for official academic documentation, scholarship applications, or university admissions forms.

GPA Calculator — Semester, Cumulative, and Target GPA With Credit Hours
GPA calculation weights each course grade by its credit hours: a 4-credit course counts twice as much as a 2-credit course toward the cumulative average. The formula is: GPA = Σ(grade points × credit hours) / Σ(credit hours). An A (4.0) in a 3-credit course plus a B (3.0) in a 4-credit course gives (4.0×3 + 3.0×4)/(3+4) = 24/7 = 3.43. The GPA calculator handles all standard letter grade to grade point conversions (including + and - grades on the 4.0, 4.3, and 4.5 scales used by different institutions) and computes both semester and cumulative GPA.
Target GPA calculation works backward: given a current GPA, current credit hours, and a desired future GPA, how high a GPA must you earn in the remaining courses? The required GPA in remaining credits = (target GPA × total credits - current GPA × completed credits) / remaining credits. A student with 3.2 GPA after 60 credits who wants 3.5 after 120 credits needs to earn 3.8 GPA in the remaining 60 credits — a specific, actionable target rather than a vague aspiration to "do better."
Pass/fail and credit/no-credit courses affect credit hour totals but not grade points — they are excluded from GPA calculation at most institutions. Transfer GPA policies vary significantly: some institutions accept transfer grades into the cumulative GPA; others record transfer credits separately and calculate only in-residence GPA for honors determination. The calculator notes these institutional variations and lets you toggle transfer credit inclusion to model both scenarios for academic standing assessment.
