College GPA Calculator
Calculate your GPA from this term's courses, credit by credit, on your own grading system: the US 4.0 scale, Canada's 4.33, UK honours classifications, India's 10-point CGPA, or an Australian WAM. Enter letters or percentages — whichever your transcript uses.

3.67 GPA
Across 10 credits on the United States (4.0 GPA) scale.
🔢 Show the math
- Multiply each course by its credits: 4 × 3 + 3.3 × 3 + 3.7 × 4 = 36.7.
- Divide by total credits: 36.7 ÷ 10 = 3.67.
Grading scales vary by institution — your school's own table and syllabus govern. Conversions shown here follow common published conventions.

What it is
This converts a term's letter grades into a grade point average, weighted by how many credits each course carries — and it does it on your own grading system rather than assuming everyone is on the US 4.0 scale.
How it works
Each grade maps to a number of grade points on the scale you select. Every course's points are multiplied by its credit value, those products are added up into quality points, and the total is divided by the total credits. The credit weighting is the part people miss: a four-credit course pulls twice as hard as a two-credit one.
Getting the most from it
- Choose your grading system first. An A+ is 4.0 in most of the US and 4.33 at many Canadian universities, and the same letters mean different things on each.
- Enter each course with its credit value from your transcript or course catalogue, not a guess — credits are what makes the average weighted.
- Use whatever your transcript shows. Letters work on point scales; percentages work everywhere, including the UK and Australian scales where there is no GPA at all.
- Check the total credits line against your enrolment. If it is wrong, a course is missing or duplicated, and the average will be wrong with it.
Reading your result
On point scales the headline figure is your GPA for the courses entered. On UK and Australian scales it is a credit-weighted percentage with the classification or band it falls in, because those systems classify rather than average to a grade point. Quality points are shown so you can check the multiplication.
What it can't tell you
It calculates the term you enter, not your official record: repeated courses, pass/fail credits, transfer credit, and grade-replacement policies are set by your institution and vary widely. For a cumulative figure that includes previous terms, use the cumulative GPA calculator.
Frequently asked questions
How is GPA actually calculated?
Each course grade converts to grade points, those points are multiplied by the course's credit value, and the total is divided by the total credits. That credit weighting is why a four-credit course moves your GPA more than a one-credit course with the same grade, and the calculator shows the whole multiplication.
Why does my A+ show as 4.0 and my friend's as 4.33?
Because you are on different scales. Most US institutions cap the scale at 4.0, so an A+ and an A are both worth four points, while many Canadian universities award 4.33 for an A+. Pick your grading system at the top and the calculator uses that scale's table throughout.
I am in the UK and have no GPA. What does this give me?
A credit-weighted average percentage and the honours classification it falls in — First, 2:1, 2:2, or Third. UK degrees classify rather than average to a grade point, so converting to a GPA would invent a number your university never issues, and the calculator does not do that.
How do I convert CGPA to a percentage?
The widely published convention multiplies a 10-point CGPA by 9.5, and the calculator shows that figure when you select the Indian scale. It is a convention rather than a universal rule: some universities publish their own conversion, and where they do, theirs is the one that counts.
Should I include failed or repeated courses?
That depends on your institution's policy, which is the part no calculator can know. Some replace the original grade entirely, some average both attempts, and some keep the failure on the transcript but exclude it from the GPA. Check the academic regulations, then include or exclude the row accordingly.
