What Is GPA (Grade Point Average)?

GPA stands for Grade Point Average, a standardized measure of academic performance for a semester or term.

It is used for university admissions, scholarship eligibility, and academic standing evaluation.

GPA Calculation Formula: GPA = (Σ Grade Points × Credits) ÷ (Σ Total Credits)

GPA is a credit-weighted average, not a simple mean of your grades.

How to Calculate GPA (Step-by-Step)

1. Enter the grade (0-10) for each course

2. Enter the credit hours assigned to each course

3. Multiply each grade by its corresponding credits

4. Add all weighted points together

5. Divide by total credits to get your GPA

GPA Calculation Example

CourseGradeCreditsWeighted Points
Math8.5434.0
Physics7.8323.4
Chemistry9.0218.0

Calculation:

  • Total Weighted Points: 34.0 + 23.4 + 18.0 = 75.4
  • Total Credits: 4 + 3 + 2 = 9
  • GPA: 75.4 ÷ 9 = 8.38

GPA Grading Scale Used

This calculator uses numeric grades on a 0-10 scale.

Your GPA is calculated directly from the grade values you enter. Different universities may internally map these values to letter grades or percentage equivalents based on their own policies.

How to Use GPA Calculator

1. Enter Course Name (optional) to help you track each subject

2. Enter Grade (0-10): input your numeric grade for the course

3. Enter Credits: add the credit hours for that course

4. Click "Add Course" to include additional rows for more subjects

5. Remove courses, delete any rows you don't need

6. Click "Calculate GPA" to see your weighted GPA result

When to Add or Remove Courses

  • Add a new row for each credit-bearing subject taken during the term
  • Remove courses that were dropped or audited (no credit awarded)
  • Include only courses with assigned credits in the calculation
  • Add lab components separately if they carry independent credits

Common GPA Calculation Mistakes

  • Ignoring credit hours and averaging grades directly
  • Using a simple average instead of a credit-weighted calculation
  • Entering grades outside the 0–10 valid range
  • Rounding intermediate values before final calculation
  • Forgetting to include all enrolled courses

When GPA Results May Differ

  • Pass/Fail courses may be excluded from GPA calculation
  • Letter-grade systems use different conversion scales
  • Institution-specific rules may cap or scale certain grades
  • Official transcripts may include adjustments not reflected here
  • Cumulative GPA includes previous semesters, not just current

FAQs

How do I calculate my GPA?

Multiply each course grade by its credit hours, sum all weighted values, then divide by total credits. Use the calculator above for instant results.

What is the GPA formula?

GPA = (Sum of Grade × Credits) ÷ (Total Credits). This gives you a credit-weighted average of your academic performance.

Does GPA depend on credits?

Yes. Courses with higher credits have more impact on your GPA. A high grade in a 4-credit course affects GPA more than in a 2-credit course.

How do I calculate GPA manually?

Multiply each grade by its credits, add all products together, then divide by total credits. See the worked example above.

What grade scale does this calculator use?

This calculator uses a 0-10 numeric scale. Enter your grades as decimal values within this range.

Can I calculate GPA for one semester?

Yes. Enter only the courses from that semester. The calculator computes GPA based on the courses you input.

What if my university uses a 4.0 scale?

This calculator uses a 10-point scale. For 4.0 scale conversion, divide your result by 2.5 or use your institution's official conversion chart.
