Use the GPA calculator to determine your Grade Point Average (GPA) based on your grades and credits. This tool can help you keep track of your academic performance and understand how your grades impact your overall GPA.

GPA Calculation Formula

The GPA is calculated using the weighted average formula. Here’s the formula used to calculate GPA:

GPA = (Sum of (Grade * Credits)) / (Total Credits)

Variables:

  • GPA is the Grade Point Average you are calculating.
  • Grade is the score you received in each class.
  • Credits represent the number of credits each class is worth.

To calculate your GPA, multiply each grade by the number of credits for that course, sum all these values, and then divide by the total number of credits.
