Formula
How to calculate
- 1Convert each letter grade to grade points: A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, F = 0.0.
- 2Multiply each course's grade points by its credit hours.
- 3Add the weighted points for all courses, and add the total credits.
- 4Divide total weighted points by total credits — that is your GPA.
How to use this calculator

- 2Pick letter grades on the 4.0 scale or enter numeric equivalents.

Examples
Semester example
A (3 cr), B+ (4 cr), A− (3 cr), C+ (2 cr) → (12.0 + 13.2 + 11.1 + 4.6) ÷ 12 = 3.41 GPA.
Why credits matter
A 1-credit F drags a 3-credit A down to 3.0 — credit hours weight every grade.
Common questions
What is a good GPA?
3.0 and above is considered solid at most schools; 3.5+ is competitive for graduate programs and many scholarships.
Do plus and minus grades count differently?
At most US schools yes — an A− is 3.7 and a B+ is 3.3. Some institutions skip the modifiers entirely, so check your school's scale.
Do pass/fail courses affect my GPA?
Usually not — pass/fail credits carry no grade points and are excluded from the GPA calculation, though they may still count toward graduation.
