How GPA is calculated
Each letter grade maps to grade points (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0, with +/− adding or subtracting 0.3). Multiply each course's points by its credit hours, sum everything, and divide by total credit hours. Courses with more credits influence your GPA more.
Some schools weight honors or AP courses above 4.0 — check your institution's scale, since weighted and unweighted GPAs are not directly comparable.
Frequently Asked Questions
▸What is a good GPA?
Above 3.0 is generally solid; 3.5+ is competitive for graduate programs and honors. Context matters — course difficulty and institution grading culture vary.
▸Does an A+ count more than an A?
At most schools both are 4.0, which is the convention this calculator uses. A few institutions award 4.3 for an A+.
