How is GPA calculated?

GPA is total grade points divided by total credit hours. Grade points come from your letter/percent grades and course credits.

Which GPA scales does this calculator support?

You can calculate GPA on common scales like 4.0 and 5.0, or use custom grade point values if your school differs.

Can I include weighted or honors courses?

Yes. If your school adds extra points for honors/AP, you can enter weighted values to reflect that.

Can I calculate semester GPA and cumulative GPA?

Yes. Use it for a single term or add multiple terms/courses to estimate a cumulative GPA.

What if my school uses a different grading system?

Grading rules vary. Use custom values or convert your grades to the closest equivalent used by your institution.
