Free GPA Calculator
Calculate your GPA on the 4.0 scale.
What is the GPA Calculator?
Your GPA is a single number that quietly follows you into scholarships, applications and internships — and working it out by hand, weighting every course by its credits, is fiddly enough that most people just guess.
This GPA calculator does the weighting for you: enter your courses, credits and grades, and see your grade point average on the 4.0 scale instantly.

Common mistakes to avoid
Ignoring credit hours
Fix: A 4-credit course affects GPA more than a 1-credit one — enter credits correctly.
Averaging letter grades directly
Fix: Convert to points and weight by credits; a plain average is wrong.
Including pass/fail courses
Fix: Most schools exclude them from GPA — leave them out.
Mixing scales
Fix: Stick to one scale (usually 4.0) across all courses.
