GPA Calculator formula
The formula is shown so you can understand the relationship between the inputs instead of treating the result as a black box.
Worked example
132 weighted points across 36 credits gives a GPA of 3.67.
Your own result may differ because it uses the exact values you enter. For comparisons, keep the method and units consistent from one calculation to the next.
Important assumptions and limitations
Use the grade-point values and credit rules from your institution. GPA conversion policies are not universal.
Calculator outputs are estimates unless the underlying arithmetic is exact by definition. For decisions involving tax filing, lending, health, contracts or institutional grading rules, use the calculator as a first check and confirm the final decision with the relevant authoritative source.
