GPA Calculator

GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated by multiplying the grade point value of each grade (e.g., A = 4.0, B = 3.0) by the course credit hours, adding these products together, and dividing the total by the sum of all credits.

A “good” GPA is subjective but typically a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher (out of 4.0) is considered good, as it represents a B average and is often the threshold for college admissions or honor societies.

While requirements vary widely, competitive universities often look for GPAs of 3.5 or higher. Many state colleges accept GPAs between 2.5 and 3.0, and community colleges often do not have a minimum GPA requirement.

Yes, weighted GPA accounts for course difficulty. AP, IB, or Honors courses are given extra points (e.g., an A in an AP class counts as 5.0 instead of 4.0), which raises your overall GPA.

Yes, unweighted GPA measures academic achievement on a standard scale from 0.0 to 4.0, regardless of the difficulty of the classes you take.

Converting a percentage to a GPA depends on your school's grading scale. On a standard 4.0 scale, 90–100% usually converts to a 4.0 (A), 80–89% to a 3.0 (B), 70–79% to a 2.0 (C), and 60–69% to a 1.0 (D).

To estimate percentage from GPA, you can map the GPA value back to the letter grade range. For example, a 3.0 GPA roughly translates to an average score of 80% to 85%.
