How to use it
For each course, enter its letter grade (or percentage) and its credit hours. The calculator converts each grade to grade points, multiplies by credits, and divides by total credits.
Formula
GPA = Σ(grade points × credit hours) ÷ Σ(credit hours)Examples
Example: A (4.0) in a 3-credit course, B (3.0) in a 4-credit course. GPA = (4.0×3 + 3.0×4) ÷ (3+4) = 24 ÷ 7 = 3.43.
Example: A- (3.7) in 4 credits, B+ (3.3) in 3 credits. GPA = (3.7×4 + 3.3×3) ÷ 7 = (14.8+9.9) ÷ 7 = 3.53.
