GPA Formula

GPA = Σ (grade points × credits) ÷ Σ (counted credits)

Grade points — the numeric value your school assigns to a letter (e.g. A = 4.0, B+ = 3.3). Credits — the credit hours the course carries. Counted credits — credits of courses included in GPA; pass/fail, withdrawn, and audit marks are excluded.

Example Calculation

3 cr × A- (3.7) = 11.10 pts

4 cr × B+ (3.3) = 13.20 pts

3 cr × B (3.0) = 9.00 pts

33.30 points ÷ 10 credits

= 3.33 GPA

Calculator Assumptions

  • Marks use standard US bands: 93+ = A, 90–92 = A-, 87–89 = B+, …, below 60 = F.
  • Non-GPA marks (P, NP, W, I, audit) are excluded from both totals.
  • Intermediate values are never rounded; the final GPA is rounded half-up.
  • Decimal places default to 2 — change under Advanced options.
  • University presets apply that school’s scale and repeat policy as recorded in our sources.

Important Notes

  • Schools differ: an A- is 3.75 at UCF, 3.67 at UF, 3.7 at UC Berkeley. Always use your own school’s scale for official planning.
  • Repeat policies change results significantly — if you retook a course, select your university preset rather than a generic scale.
  • This tool estimates; only your registrar produces an official GPA.

Frequently Asked Questions

I only know my marks (percentage) — can I still calculate GPA?

Yes. Keep the input mode on “Marks %” and enter your percentage for each course. The calculator converts marks to letter grades using the standard US bands (93+ = A, 90–92 = A-, …) and shows the derived grade next to each course.

I know my grade points per course — can I enter those?

Yes. Switch to “Grade points” mode and enter the points for each course (for example 3.7). The calculator matches them to the closest grade on the selected scale.

Do pass/fail courses count toward GPA?

Usually no — pass/fail grades are excluded from both the grade-point total and the credit total unless your school’s rules say otherwise.

What happens if I repeated a course?

It depends on your school’s repeat policy — some average all attempts, some replace the grade, some cap how many units can be replaced. Pick your university from the scale selector and the correct rule is applied automatically.

Can I use a custom grading scale?

Yes — choose “Custom” in the scale selector, then open Advanced options and enter your own grade-to-points table.

Is my data saved?

No. Nothing is stored on a server. Shareable state lives entirely in the URL, which you can send with the Share button.

Sources & Verification

Grade-point scales and repeat rules for university presets are taken from each school’s official registrar or catalog pages, with a last-verified date recorded per source. Marks-to-letter bands follow common US conventions — no single official conversion exists.

This calculator provides an estimate based on the values and assumptions entered. Actual results may vary — always verify your GPA with your registrar for official records.
