Frequently Asked Questions
How is GPA calculated?
GPA is calculated by multiplying the grade points of each course by the number of credit hours, summing all of those values, then dividing by the total number of credit hours. For example, an A (4.0) in a 3-credit course gives you 12 quality points. Divide total quality points by total credits to get your GPA.
What is a good GPA?
A GPA of 3.0 or higher is generally considered good at the college level. A 3.5 or above is considered excellent and can qualify you for academic honors. For graduate school applications, a GPA of 3.5+ is usually expected for competitive programs.
What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
An unweighted GPA is calculated on a 4.0 scale and doesn't account for course difficulty. A weighted GPA gives extra points for harder courses like AP or IB classes, often on a 5.0 scale. Most college calculators use the unweighted 4.0 scale.
How do I calculate my cumulative GPA?
To find your cumulative GPA, use the Cumulative tab above. Enter your current GPA and total credit hours earned so far, then add your new semester's courses and grades. The calculator will weigh everything correctly and give you your updated GPA.
Can I use this calculator for high school and college?
Yes. This GPA calculator uses the standard 4.0 scale which is used by the vast majority of US high schools and colleges. The calculation method works for both. If your school uses a different scale, multiply your result accordingly.
