⚙️ How It Works
A GPA (Grade Point Average) calculator converts letter grades to grade points and computes your weighted average. Each course's grade points are multiplied by its credit hours, all products are summed, then divided by total credit hours. This weighted average ensures that higher-credit courses have more impact on your GPA.

❓ FAQ
What is a good GPA?
A 3.0 GPA (B average) is generally considered good. A 3.5+ is considered excellent and competitive for graduate school. Many employers use 3.0 as a minimum threshold. Context matters — a 3.5 in engineering may be more impressive than a 3.8 in an easier major.
What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
An unweighted GPA uses a standard 4.0 scale regardless of course difficulty. A weighted GPA gives extra points for honors, AP, or IB courses (typically up to 5.0). Colleges often recalculate GPAs on their own scale for fair comparison.
How do I calculate my cumulative GPA?
Add up all grade points (grade × credit hours) from all semesters, then divide by total credit hours attempted. Most schools provide a transcript with this calculated, but you can verify it using this calculator.
Can I raise my GPA significantly?
It gets harder to raise your GPA as you accumulate more credits. With 60 credits at a 2.5 GPA, you'd need a 4.0 for the next 60 credits to reach a 3.25. Focus on improvement trends — graduate schools often look at your most recent semesters.
