GPA Calculator
Calculate a credit-weighted GPA from multiple courses.
How do I calculate my GPA?
A grade point average is the total of each course's grade points multiplied by its credits, divided by the total credits.
Formula: Weighted GPA = sum of (course credits × grade points) ÷ total credits.
Weighted GPA

| Course | Credits | Grade points | Quality points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Course 1 | 3 | 4 | 12 |
| Course 2 | 3 | 3 | 9 |

Worked example
A and B across equal credits
- Start with Courses: [{"label":"Course 1","first":"3","second":"4"},{"label":"Course 2","first":"3","second":"3"}].
- Apply the method: Weighted GPA = sum of (course credits × grade points) ÷ total credits.
- Three credits at 4.0 and three at 3.0 produce a 3.5 GPA.
