Calculator
Choose your GPA scale and enter course credits and letter grades. Keep Course Type as Regular, or use Custom Bonus to add extra GPA points to a course.
GPA Calculator - Calculate, Simulate and Plan Your GPA
Free GPA calculators for every scale. Use the Simulator to preview GPA changes from individual courses, and use the Planner to calculate the grades you need to reach your target.
Calculate Your GPA
This selection applies to Calculator, Simulator and Planner. The mapping can be found at Letter Grade and GPA Scale Reference ↓
| Course | Credits | Grade | Course Type | Actions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Custom bonuses are personal scenarios. Use Regular unless your calculation explicitly includes extra course points.
Understand GPA Rules
Your GPA is a credit-weighted average of the courses you enter. Add one term’s courses for a semester GPA, or include courses from multiple terms for a cumulative GPA. The result reflects the selected grading scale and the courses included.
GPA
Shows your total quality points divided by your total credits. It is displayed to two decimal places.
Total credits
The sum of the credit values you entered. Courses with more credits contribute more to the result.
Quality points
Each course’s credits multiplied by its grade points, then added together. These points are the basis of your GPA.
If you already know your historical GPA and completed credits, use GPA Planner to project your final cumulative GPA with future courses. Keep the same grading basis throughout.
How to use the GPA calculator
Calculate your starting GPA, explore grade changes, then plan the grades needed for your target.
Simulator
After calculating, open GPA Simulator and adjust each letter-grade slider. Compare original and simulated grades and GPA points. Credits and custom bonuses stay fixed
Planner
Enter your current GPA, completed credits and target in GPA Planner. Select Start Plan to generate a plan, and locked grades stay fixed.
Illustrations show example values on the 4.0 scale. Simulator and Planner unlock after Calculate GPA. The Planner defaults to your Calculator results and supports manual adjustments. Plan by remaining credits is also available for finding the required average.
How GPA Is Calculated
Calculator: Course Points and GPA
Look up letter-grade points on your selected scale, then add any custom bonus before credit weighting. Regular courses have no bonus. GPA displays two decimals while calculations retain full precision.
Course GPA points = selected-scale letter points + custom bonus
Course quality points = course credits × course GPA points
Semester or cumulative GPA = Σ course quality points ÷ Σ course credits
Simulator: What-if GPA and Change
Adjust letter grades to calculate a what-if GPA and compare it with your baseline. The selected scale, course credits and custom bonuses stay fixed, and your original calculated result remains unchanged.
Simulated course points = selected-scale points for simulated letter + fixed course bonus
What-if GPA = Σ (course credits × simulated course points) ÷ Σ course credits
GPA change = what-if GPA − calculated baseline GPA
Planner: Plan by Remaining Credits
Start with your Calculator GPA and credits, or adjust them manually. Use your target and remaining credits to find the required average, which is rounded up to two decimal places.
Completed quality points = current GPA × completed credits
Required remaining GPA = [target GPA × (completed credits + remaining credits) − completed quality points] ÷ remaining credits
Projected final GPA = (completed quality points + remaining GPA × remaining credits) ÷ (completed credits + remaining credits)
Planner: Plan by Course
Locked courses keep their grades and bonuses; unlocked courses use generated grades without bonuses. Apply these points to the quality-point and final-GPA formulas above. Generated plans must meet or exceed your target.
Remaining credits = Σ remaining-course credits
Locked course points = selected-scale points for locked letter + custom bonus
Unlocked course points = selected-scale points for generated letter
Planner: Achievable Range
Use the selected scale’s minimum and maximum points to find achievable limits. Locked courses retain their grades and bonuses. Targets outside this range receive an explanation; displayed results use two decimals.
Total credits = completed credits + remaining credits
Lowest final GPA = (completed quality points + minimum remaining quality points) ÷ total credits
Highest final GPA = (completed quality points + maximum remaining quality points) ÷ total credits
