How to use

How to calculate your GPA with this tool

1 Select your grading scale. Most US universities use a 4.0 scale, while some use 4.3 with A+ grades.
2 Enter each course with the grade you received and the number of credits.
3 Add more courses with the Add Course button. Remove any course by clicking the X button.
4 Review your cumulative GPA, total credits, and Latin honors classification.
5 Use the grade point reference table to verify how letter grades map to points on your scale.

GPA calculation is straightforward but tedious to do by hand, especially when courses have different credit weights. This calculator multiplies each grade point value by the course credits, sums everything up, and divides by total credits to give you an accurate cumulative GPA.

The Latin honors classification helps you understand where your GPA falls. Most universities award Cum Laude at 3.5, Magna Cum Laude at 3.7, and Summa Cum Laude at 3.9 or above, though specific cutoffs vary by institution.
