How to Calculate Your GPA
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) shows how well you are performing in your courses. It is calculated using the grade points earned in each course and the number of credit hours assigned to that course.
This calculator uses your course grades and credit hours to estimate your GPA on a 4.0 or 5.0 scale.
GPA Calculation Example
Suppose you have four courses, each worth one credit hour:
| Course | Grade | Grade Points |
|---|---|---|
| English | A | 4.0 |
| Math | B | 3.0 |
| Science | A | 4.0 |
| History | B | 3.0 |
Total grade points = 14.0
Total credit hours = 4
GPA = 14 ÷ 4 = 3.50
Your GPA in this example is 3.50 on a 4.0 scale.
What Is a Good GPA?
On a typical 4.0 scale, a GPA of 3.0 is often considered good, while a GPA of 3.5 or higher is generally strong. However, what counts as a good GPA depends on your school, program, and goals.
