GPA Calculator

To use this GPA calculator:

1. For each of your four courses, select the letter grade from the dropdown and enter the credit hours.
2. The calculator instantly computes your semester GPA, total quality points, and total credits.
3. To calculate your cumulative GPA, expand the advanced options and enter your existing cumulative GPA and total credits from previous semesters.
4. The calculator also shows whether your semester GPA qualifies for the Dean's List (3.5 or higher).

A GPA calculator computes your grade point average based on the grades and credit hours of your courses. It is an essential academic tool for students who want to track their performance, estimate their cumulative GPA, and determine eligibility for honors, scholarships, or graduate programs.

The standard 4.0 GPA scale is used by most colleges and universities in the United States, where A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, and F = 0.0, with plus and minus modifiers adjusting the values by 0.3.

The GPA formula:

• Quality Points per Course = Grade Point Value × Credit Hours
• Semester GPA = Total Quality Points / Total Credit Hours
• Cumulative GPA = (Existing Quality Points + Semester Quality Points) / (Existing Credits + Semester Credits)

Where Existing Quality Points = Current Cumulative GPA × Current Total Credits.

Example 1: Four 3-credit courses with grades A- (3.7), B (3.0), B+ (3.3), and A (4.0): Quality points = 11.1 + 9.0 + 9.9 + 12.0 = 42.0. Semester GPA = 42.0 / 12 = 3.5. Dean's List: Yes.

Example 2: Same semester grades, but you already have a 3.2 cumulative GPA with 60 existing credits: Existing quality points = 3.2 x 60 = 192. New total = 192 + 42 = 234. New total credits = 60 + 12 = 72. Cumulative GPA = 234 / 72 = 3.25.
