How to use it
Enter each high school class's letter grade and credit value. The calculator gives your unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale.
Formula
Unweighted GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ(credits)Examples
Example: Five classes, all A (4.0), 1 credit each. GPA = 4.0.
Example: A (4.0), B (3.0), B+ (3.3), C (2.0), each 1 credit. GPA = (4+3+3.3+2) ÷ 4 = 3.08.
