What about plus/minus or pass/fail?

We include common 4.0 scale values. Pass/fail courses with zero grade points can be left as 0 credits if they shouldn’t affect GPA.

Can I add more than four classes?

Enter totals for the extra classes on one line (e.g., combine two 1-credit seminars) or duplicate the calculator for additional rows.

College GPA Calculator

Enter course credits and letter grades to compute semester GPA and total grade points.

Results

Calculated GPA: 3.43
Total credits: 9.00
Total grade points: 30.90

How to use this calculator

Enter credits and select letter grade for each course (up to four).
We calculate quality points (credits × grade value) and sum them.
GPA = total quality points ÷ total credits.

Inputs explained

Course credits: Credit hours per course. Set to 0 to ignore a row.
Course grade: Letter grade mapped to grade points on a 4.0 scale.

How it works

Grade points = credits × grade value for each class. GPA = total grade points ÷ total credits.

Only classes with >0 credits count, so you can leave extra rows at zero if unused.

Formula

GPA = Σ(credits × grade value) ÷ Σ(credits)

When to use it

Estimating semester GPA before grades are final.
Testing how a target grade affects your term GPA.
Checking scholarship or program eligibility thresholds.

Tips & cautions

Exclude pass/fail courses that don’t affect GPA by setting credits to 0.
If your school uses a different scale, map grades to the closest values or adjust manually.
Combine low-credit seminars on one line if you need more than four courses.
Supports four courses; add more by combining or duplicating rows.
Fixed 4.0 scale—no custom institutional scales beyond the provided plus/minus set.
Term-only; does not compute cumulative GPA.

Worked examples

3 classes at 3 credits each (A, B+, B)

Grade points = (3×4) + (3×3.3) + (3×3) = 30.9
GPA ≈ 3.43

Add a 1-credit lab

Set credits to 1, pick the lab grade, and the GPA updates instantly.

Deep dive

This GPA calculator multiplies course credits by grade points, sums quality points, and divides by total credits to show semester GPA. Enter credits and letter grades (4.0 scale) for up to four courses.

Use it to model how different grades affect your term GPA and to plan for scholarship or program requirements. Set pass/fail courses to 0 credits if they shouldn’t count.
