What this calculator is useful for

Calculate an unweighted GPA from up to six course grades and credit hours on a standard 4.0 scale. It is designed for quick estimates and everyday problem solving. When a calculation affects a contract, tax filing, medical decision or other high-stakes situation, verify the result with the appropriate professional or authoritative source.

Four courses produce about a 3.533 GPA

For A (3 credits), B (3 credits), A− (4 credits), and B+ (2 credits), quality points are 12 + 9 + 14.8 + 6.6 = 42.4. Divide by 12 total credits to get 3.533.

How to interpret the result

The example shows why a four-credit course affects GPA more than a two-credit course.

Important limitation
