Calculate semester GPA with letter grades and credit hours
GPA Calculator is a free online browser-based utility designed to calculate semester gpa with letter grades and credit hours. All computations, processing, and rendering happen completely inside your browser client, ensuring your data is kept secure and private.
Convert each letter grade to grade points, multiply by its credit hours, add these up, then divide by total credits. For example, A (4.0) x 3, B+ (3.3) x 4 and A- (3.7) x 3 give (12 + 13.2 + 11.1) / 10 = 3.63.
On the 4.0 scale: A+ and A are 4.0, A- 3.7, B+ 3.3, B 3.0, B- 2.7, C+ 2.3, C 2.0, C- 1.7, D+ 1.3, D 1.0 and F 0.0. A 10-point option (O = 10 down to F = 0) is also available. Some schools weight A+ differently, so check your own policy.
GPA is the average grade points for a set of courses, usually one semester or term. CGPA is the cumulative average across all terms, weighted by credits. This tool gives a single GPA for the courses listed, so for cumulative results add every course, or use the CGPA calculator.
Yes. A grade in a 4-credit course counts four times as much as the same grade in a 1-credit course. For example, an F in a 4-credit class with an A in a 3-credit class gives 12 / 7 = 1.71, not the simple average of 2.0. That is why the tool asks for credits.
It depends on the school, course and goal. On a 4.0 scale, 3.0 is often treated as a solid B average, and 3.5 or above is usually seen as strong, but scholarship, graduate and employer cut-offs vary. Check the specific requirement of the programme you are targeting.
No special policy is built in. The tool averages exactly the rows you enter. If your school replaces a repeated grade, remove the old course row; if a pass/fail course is excluded from GPA, leave it out. Your registrar decides how those grades officially count.
