How to Calculate Your GPA

Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is a standard way of measuring academic achievement. Our calculator makes it easy, but understanding the formula can help you track your progress. Here's how it works:

The GPA Formula

1. Assign Grade Points: Each letter grade corresponds to a point value. A common scale is A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0.
2. Calculate Quality Points for Each Course: Multiply the grade point for each course by the number of credits for that course. (Grade Points * Credits = Quality Points).
3. Sum Your Totals: Add up all your quality points and all your credit hours.
4. Divide: Divide your total quality points by your total credit hours. The result is your GPA.

Our calculator automates these steps, providing a quick and error-free way to determine your GPA. This is especially helpful for planning future semesters and understanding your academic standing.
