4.0 Scale GPA Calculator
4.0 scale GPA calculator to quickly calculate GPA from letter grades, percent (%), or direct GPA points. It automatically weights results by credits/units, so you get an accurate overall GPA.
GPA Formula (Weighted by Credits)
If you want to understand the math behind a GPA calculator, here’s the standard approach:
Step 1: Convert each course grade into GPA points (example: A=4.0, B=3.0).
Step 2: Multiply GPA points by credits for each course.
Step 3: Divide total quality points by total credits.
Formula:
GPA = (Σ (Course GPA Points × Course Credits)) ÷ (Σ Course Credits)
Example
| Course | Credits | Grade | GPA Points | Quality Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Math | 3 | A | 4.0 | 12.0 |
| English | 3 | B+ | 3.3 | 9.9 |
| Total | 6 | 21.9 |
GPA = 21.9 ÷ 6 = 3.65 (rounded based on your settings)
