Calculate your grade point average by semester, plan your cumulative GPA, and explore the GPA scale
Enter your courses, credit hours, and grades to calculate your GPA. Supports letter, percentage, and point-value grades.
Find the GPA you need in future courses to reach your cumulative GPA goal.
The formula for the required GPA in future courses is:
Required GPA = (Target GPA × Total Credits − Current GPA × Completed Credits) ÷ Future Credits
If the required GPA exceeds 4.0, your target may not be achievable within the given credit hours on a standard scale.
Standard US 4.0 GPA scale used by most colleges and universities.
| Letter Grade | Standard (4.0) | With A+ (4.3) | Percentage | Description | Visual |

Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated by dividing the total grade points earned by the total credit hours attempted. Grading systems vary across institutions — some use plus/minus grades, some use A+ = 4.3, and some use a 5-point scale.
Grades such as P, NP, W, I, and AU are typically excluded from GPA calculations.
