How to use GPA Calculator
- Enter one course per line as course name, letter grade, credits and optional level such as honors or ap.
- Turn on weighted points if your school uses them, and set the extra points for honors and AP or college courses.
- The GPA updates as you change the courses. Compare the unweighted and weighted results with your school's published grading rules.
Example: GPA Calculator
Estimate a term GPA for three courses with different credit values and course levels.
Options
- Course lines
- Separate the name, grade, credits and optional level with commas or tabs. A missing level means regular; use honors or ap for the optional weighted calculation. A line with an unknown level is refused.
- US 4.0 grades
- The built-in letter mapping starts with A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0 and F = 0.0, with plus and minus values shown in the result. You may also enter a grade-point number from 0 to 4.3.
- Weighted points
- Turn weighting on to add the extra points you enter for honors or AP lines. Both calculations weight course grade points by credits; the unweighted result is shown separately.

How this estimate is calculated
For each course, grade points are multiplied by credits. The sum is divided by the total credits. The optional weighted figure adds your chosen bonus to honors or AP course points before multiplying by credits, while the unweighted figure keeps the base points. The 4.0 table printed in the result is this tool's own default example mapping, not a school's official scale: UC Berkeley publishes one concrete plus/minus grade-point table, and schools set their own weighting, repeat and transfer rules, so your school's published policy controls.

Questions about GPA Calculator
Why does the same grade affect my GPA more in one course?
Credits are weights. A four-credit course contributes four times its grade points to the numerator, while a one-credit course contributes once. The total is divided by all included credits.
How do I mark an honors or AP course?
Put honors or ap in the fourth field of that course line, as in Algebra II, B+, 4, honors. Turn on weighted points and set the bonuses to match your school's policy.
Will this match the GPA on my transcript?
Maybe not. Schools choose their own grade mapping, weighting and rules for repeats, transfer credit and pass/fail courses. Use your registrar's policy for an official GPA.
