GPA Calculator (4.0 Scale)
Calculate GPA on a 4.0 scale from your course grades.
About GPA Calculator
Calculate your semester or cumulative GPA on the standard US 4.0 scale. Add courses with letter grades (A, A−, B+, B, etc.) and credit hours. Instantly see weighted GPA and the impact of each course.
Use Cases
College scholarship eligibility checks, graduate school applications, understanding academic standing, planning courses to improve GPA.
How It Works
Each letter grade maps to a grade point (A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, etc.). GPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credits) / Σ(Credits).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good GPA?
Generally: 3.5+ is excellent, 3.0+ is good, 2.5+ is satisfactory. Graduate school typically requires 3.0+. Requirements vary by institution.
How do I raise a low GPA?
Retaking failed courses (if your school allows grade replacement) and earning A grades in future courses gradually raises your CGPA through the weighted average.
