The GPA Formula
- 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.
- 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).
- Sum Your Totals: Add up all your quality points and all your credit hours.
- 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.
