What does this gpa calculator do?
Calculate a credit-weighted GPA from course grades.
How do I use this gpa calculator?
Enter each course, its credits, and its grade format.
What does the result mean?
The report shows quality points and cumulative GPA.
What should I check before relying on it?
Schools can use different grade scales and repeat-course rules.
Why does a 5.0 scale give a higher GPA than a 4.0 scale for the same grades?
A 5.0, or weighted, scale typically adds an extra point for grades earned in honors or advanced courses, which raises the calculated GPA compared with an unweighted 4.0 scale.
Does adding a low-credit course change my GPA much?
Less than a high-credit course would — GPA is a credit-weighted average, so courses with more credit hours have a bigger influence on the overall result than courses with fewer credits.
