How to Calculate GPA

Grade Points
Letter grades are converted into numeric grade points.
Course Level
Regular, honors, and AP/IB courses can use different grade-point values.
Weighted Average
Course points are multiplied by credits, added together, and divided by total credits.

How to Understand GPA

A GPA calculator estimates term GPA from grades, credits, and course levels. You can compare an unweighted 4.0 GPA with honors or AP/IB-weighted results using a preset or your school's custom bonuses.

What Affects GPA?

Letter Grades

Each grade maps to a grade-point value.

Credits

Credit hours determine each course's weight.

Course Rigor

Honors, AP, IB, dual-enrollment, and other advanced courses may earn bonus quality points.

Weighted Average

The GPA is not a simple average when credits differ.

Retakes

Schools handle repeated courses differently.

School Scale

Some schools use plus/minus grades, weighted honors points, or different scales.

Target GPA

Future courses can raise or lower cumulative GPA depending on credits.

Common GPA Uses

Estimate GPA for one set of current courses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is GPA calculated?

Multiply each course's grade points by its credits, add those results, then divide by total credits.

Why do credits matter?

A four-credit course affects GPA more than a one-credit course.

Which grading scales does this calculator use?

Choose an unweighted 4.0 scale, a common 5.0 weighting preset, a 6.0 preset with +1 for honors and +2 for AP/IB/Dual Enrollment, or custom school bonuses.

Can I add or remove courses?

Yes. The calculator starts with three courses, and you can add more or remove any course row.

Does this calculate a weighted high school GPA?

Yes. Select a weighting system, then mark each course as regular, honors, or AP/IB/advanced. The result also shows the unweighted GPA for comparison.

Are honors and AP bonuses the same everywhere?

No. Bonus values and minimum qualifying grades vary by state, district, and school, so use the custom option when a preset does not match your policy.

Is this my official GPA?

No. Your school transcript is official and may apply rules this calculator does not model.

Can one bad grade be offset?

Yes, but the impact depends on credits completed and future grades earned.
