GPA Calculator With Credit Hours
Add your courses, grades, and credit hours to get your GPA on a 4.0 scale along with your academic standing.
Calculating a semester or cumulative GPA by hand means weighting every grade by its credit hours and dividing carefully, which gets tedious with more than a few classes. This GPA calculator lets you add each course by name, enter a letter grade or percentage score, and set the credit hours, then instantly returns your GPA on a standard 4.0 scale. It is built for high school and college students checking their standing before finals, transfer students converting between grading systems, and parents helping track report cards. Courses can be added or removed at any time, and you can switch between letter grades and percentage grades depending on how your school reports scores. Alongside the GPA itself, the calculator shows a letter grade equivalent, an academic standing label such as Dean's List or Academic Warning, and a full GPA scale reference table for context. It also makes it easy to test hypothetical scenarios, such as seeing how a single low grade or an extra elective course would shift your overall average.

How It Works
GPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ Σ(Credit Hours)Example: an A (4.0) in a 3-credit course, a B+ (3.3) in a 4-credit course, and an A- (3.7) in a 3-credit course gives (4.0×3 + 3.3×4 + 3.7×3) ÷ 10 = 36.3 ÷ 10 = 3.63 GPA.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my GPA?
Multiply each course's grade point value by its credit hours, add those totals together, then divide by the total number of credit hours. This calculator does it automatically as you add courses.
What is the difference between letter grades and percentage grades here?
Letter grades map directly to standard GPA point values, such as A equals 4.0. Percentage grades are converted to the nearest equivalent letter grade band before being scored, using a common 90/80/70/60 grading scale.
What does academic standing mean?
Academic standing is a general label based on your overall GPA, ranging from Dean's List for a GPA of 3.5 or higher down to Academic Probation for a GPA below 1.0. Standards vary by school, so check with your institution for exact thresholds.
Can I add or remove courses?
Yes. Use the Add Course button to add a new row, and the trash icon next to any course to remove it. Your GPA recalculates instantly.
Does this calculator use weighted or unweighted GPA?
This calculator computes a standard unweighted GPA based on credit hours. It does not add extra points for honors or AP courses.
