What is a GPA?
GPA stands for Grade Point Average. It is a number used by schools, colleges and universities to summarize a student's academic performance. A common GPA scale ranges from 0.0 to 4.0.
How is GPA calculated?
GPA is generally calculated by multiplying the grade points for each course by the course's credit hours, adding those values together, and dividing the result by the total number of credit hours.
GPA Formula
GPA = Total Grade Points ÷ Total Credit Hours
Example
Suppose you take three courses. If your courses have different credit hours, each course contributes to your GPA according to its credit value. The calculator above performs this weighted calculation automatically.
