GPA Calculator

A grade point average is the average of the points for your classes. Enter each class as points on a four-point scale, such as 4 for an A and 3 for a B.

How it works

Add up the grade points and divide by the number of classes. This is an unweighted average, so each class counts the same.

Some schools weight honors or advanced classes more, and some count credit hours. This calculator does not do either.

Worked example

With 5 classes, the grade point average comes to 3.28 on a four-point scale.

Questions

What points does each grade get?

Many schools use 4 for an A, 3 for a B, 2 for a C and 1 for a D. Some use plus and minus grades, such as 3.7 for a B plus. Use your school's scale.

Are pass or fail classes counted?

Usually not. Many schools leave them out of the average, so check your school's rule.

Is this the GPA my school reports?

Not always. Your transcript is the record. This shows the math on the grades you enter.
