GPA calculator, weighted and unweighted.
Add each course with its credits and letter grade, and your GPA works itself out on the common 4.0 scale. Mark honors and AP or IB classes to see your weighted GPA too, and add the GPA and credits you already have for your cumulative GPA. Schools set their own scales, so check yours; you can count A+ as 4.0 or 4.3. Your courses stay in this browser.

How GPA works
Grade points times credits.
02 / Credits
Bigger classes count more
Each grade's points are multiplied by its credits, added up, and divided by all the credits.
03 / Weighted
Honors and AP
Many high schools add 0.5 for honors and 1.0 for AP or IB classes; the weighted GPA shows that.
Questions
Good to know.
How do I calculate my GPA?
Multiply each grade's points by the course credits, add them up, and divide by the total credits. The calculator does it as you type.
What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
Unweighted uses the plain 4.0 scale. Weighted adds extra points for harder classes, usually 0.5 for honors and 1.0 for AP or IB.
How do I work out my cumulative GPA?
Type your current GPA and the credits it covers under Cumulative GPA. This term's courses are added in.
Is an A+ 4.0 or 4.3?
It depends on the school. Pick the one yours uses.
