How the GPA Calculator Works

This GPA Calculator estimates your grade point average by multiplying each course grade by its credit hours, adding all grade points together, and dividing by the total number of credits. It is useful for tracking semester performance and academic goals.

Example Calculation

Let’s say you have the following grades:

  • Math: A (4.0)
  • English: B (3.0)
  • Science: A (4.0)
  • History: C (2.0)

Add all grade points:

4.0 + 3.0 + 4.0 + 2.0 = 13.0

Divide by the number of classes:

13.0 ÷ 4 = 3.25

Your GPA is 3.25.
