How It Works

How GPA Is Calculated

GPA is a weighted average. Each course’s grade is converted to grade points (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0.0). Those grade points are multiplied by the course’s credit hours, summed across all courses, and divided by total credit hours. This is why a three-credit A contributes more to your GPA than a one-credit A; credit hours are the weights.

Weighted GPA works differently: it adds a bonus (typically 0.5 or 1.0) to the grade point value for advanced courses before performing the same weighted average calculation. A B in an AP course might count as 3.5 instead of 3.0. The maximum weighted GPA is usually 5.0, though some scales go higher.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends entirely on context. For high school, a 3.5 or above is generally considered strong for selective college admissions. For college, graduate programs typically require 3.0 minimum, with competitive programs expecting 3.5+.

Your semester GPA resets each term; it only reflects courses from that semester. Your cumulative GPA is permanent and incorporates every course you have taken. Some institutions allow academic renewal or grade replacement policies that can remove old courses from GPA calculations, but these are institution-specific.

They typically do not. Pass/fail courses that result in a Pass usually do not count toward GPA at most institutions. A Fail may or may not count as an F, depending on your institution’s policy.

Yes. The Grade Point Average Calculator supports 4.0, 5.0, 7.0, 10.0, and custom scales. For the other tools, the 4.0 scale is default but most include scale selection in their settings.
