How GPA is calculated
Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is a weighted average of the grade points you earn in each course, weighted by the number of credit hours.
Formula: GPA = Total Grade Points ÷ Total Credit Hours
Where Grade Points for a course = Grade Value × Credit Hours
Standard 4.0 scale:
- A / A+ = 4.0 A- = 3.7
- B+ = 3.3 B = 3.0 B- = 2.7
- C+ = 2.3 C = 2.0 C- = 1.7
- D+ = 1.3 D = 1.0 D- = 0.7
- F = 0.0
Most US colleges use a 4.0 scale. A cumulative GPA above 3.0 is generally considered good, above 3.5 is very good, and above 3.7 is excellent (Dean's List at many schools).
GPA calculator FAQs
Answers to common GPA questions.
What is a good college GPA?
A GPA above 3.0 (B average) is generally considered good. Above 3.5 is very good, and above 3.7 often qualifies for Dean's List or Latin honors. Graduate school admissions typically look for 3.0+ (competitive programs want 3.5+).
How do I calculate cumulative GPA?
Cumulative GPA includes all courses from all semesters. Add every course you've taken with its credit hours and grade, and the calculator will compute your overall GPA across all of them.
Does an A+ count as higher than 4.0?
On the standard 4.0 scale used by most US colleges, an A+ is worth 4.0 — the same as an A. Some schools use a 4.3 scale where A+ = 4.3, but this calculator uses the standard 4.0 scale.
Do pass/fail courses affect my GPA?
Pass/fail or credit/no-credit courses typically do not affect your GPA. Only courses with letter grades are included in the GPA calculation. Exclude pass/fail courses when using this calculator.
