Across 10 credit hours

GPA on the 4.0 scale is the standard grading system at US and many international universities. Like CGPA, it is a credit-weighted average โ€” courses worth more credit hours count for more toward your final GPA.

Add each course with its grade point (A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, and so on, or any decimal grade point your transcript shows) and its credit hours, and this tool calculates your overall GPA.

GPA = ฮฃ(Grade Point ร— Credit Hours) รท ฮฃ(Credit Hours)

Standard letter-to-point mapping: A=4.0, Aโˆ’=3.7, B+=3.3, B=3.0, Bโˆ’=2.7, C+=2.3, C=2.0, and so on โ€” this can vary slightly by institution.

Worked example

Question: Course 1 โ€” grade point 4.0 (A), 3 credit hours. Course 2 โ€” grade point 3.3 (B+), 4 credit hours. Course 3 โ€” grade point 3.7 (Aโˆ’), 3 credit hours.
Step 1 โ€” Multiply: (4.0ร—3)=12, (3.3ร—4)=13.2, (3.7ร—3)=11.1
Step 2 โ€” Add: 12+13.2+11.1 = 36.3
Step 3 โ€” Add credit hours: 3+4+3 = 10
Step 4 โ€” Divide: 36.3 รท 10 = 3.63
Answer: GPA is 3.63.

If your transcript shows letter grades rather than numbers, convert them first using your institution's official scale โ€” the common convention is A=4.0, Aโˆ’=3.7, B+=3.3, B=3.0, Bโˆ’=2.7, C+=2.3, C=2.0, Cโˆ’=1.7, D=1.0, F=0.0, though some schools use slightly different values.

If you need to convert this 4.0-scale GPA into a 10-point CGPA (common when applying to Indian institutions from an international transcript, or vice versa), use the dedicated CGPA to GPA Converter, which handles the conversion in the direction you need.

How do I calculate my GPA?

Multiply each course's grade point (on the 4.0 scale) by its credit hours, sum all of those, then divide by the total credit hours.

What is a 4.0 GPA?

A 4.0 is the maximum on this scale, representing straight A grades across every course.

My transcript shows letter grades โ€” how do I use this calculator?

Convert each letter grade to its numeric grade point first (A=4.0, B=3.0, etc., per your institution's official scale), then enter those numbers here.
