GPA Calculator

Calculate your unweighted or weighted GPA, cumulative across semesters, plus a GPA planning calculator.

Calculated locally in your browser.
  • Weights each course by its credit hours, the way a real transcript GPA is computed.
  • Optional weighted mode adds the standard +0.5 (Honors) / +1.0 (AP/IB) bonus per course — matches how most US high schools actually report GPA on a transcript.
  • Combine a prior cumulative GPA and credit total with this term's courses for one true cumulative GPA — no need to re-enter every past course.
  • Planning mode reverse-solves the average GPA you'd need over your remaining credits to reach a target cumulative GPA.
  • Recalculates instantly as you add or edit courses.
  • Runs in your browser — your grades aren't uploaded.

Why this is private

  • Calculated locally in your browser.
  • Open your browser's DevTools → Network tab while using this tool — you won't see a request carrying your input, because it never leaves your device.
  • Nothing you enter is uploaded to a server or shared with us — the processing happens entirely on your device.

Overview

Calculates your GPA (Grade Point Average) from a list of courses, their credit hours and letter grades — on the standard unweighted 4.0 scale, or a weighted scale with Honors/AP/IB bonus points that lets your GPA exceed 4.0. Optionally combine with a prior cumulative GPA across earlier semesters, and use the planning mode to see what GPA you'd need going forward to hit a target.

How to use it

  1. 1Turn on weighted mode if your school weights Honors/AP/IB courses.
  2. 2Add each course with its credit hours, letter grade, and course level if weighted.
  3. 3Turn on "Include prior semesters" and enter your prior GPA and credit total for a true cumulative figure.
  4. 4Turn on GPA planning, enter a target GPA and how many more credits you'll take, to see the average you'd need over them.

Formula

GPA

GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) / Σ(credits)

Tips

  • Some institutions use a different weighted-bonus scale or a different point scale entirely — check your institution's specific scale if this doesn't match your transcript.
