Grades become points
Each letter grade turns into grade points on the 4.0 scale: A and A+ are 4.0, A- is 3.7, B+ is 3.3, down to F at 0. Open the grade scale under your GPA to see the full table.

A+ counts as 4.0 here, as it does at most US schools. Pass/fail courses and courses with 0 credits are left out. With weighting on, the bonus is added to every grade except F.

How this GPA calculator works
Plain arithmetic on the grades you already have. Every number on the page comes with the working that made it.
Credits set the weight
Points are multiplied by credit hours, added up, and divided by your total credits. Your cumulative GPA does this across every course you have saved, so bigger courses count for more.
Weighted, if your school does it
Turn on weighting and pick your school’s bonus for Honours and for AP or IB. A common setup is +0.5 and +1.0. The bonus is not added to an F. Both GPAs then sit side by side.
Pass/fail stays out
Pass/fail courses and courses worth 0 credits carry no grade points, so they are left out of both the points and the credits. The row is marked so you can see why.
What this tool will not do
It works with earned grades only. It will not predict a GPA, tell you what you need on a final, set a GPA goal, compare you with other students or give admissions advice. It does not convert percentages or other national scales either. It adds up what you already have, and shows the working.
Questions
Each letter grade becomes grade points on a 4.0 scale (A is 4.0, B is 3.0, and so on). Multiply the points by the course credits, add them up, and divide by the total credits. Cumulative GPA does the same across every course in every semester, so a 4-credit course counts for more than a 1-credit one. It is not an average of your semester GPAs.
Unweighted GPA treats every A as 4.0, whatever the course. Weighted GPA adds a bonus for harder courses, often +0.5 for Honours and +1.0 for AP or IB. Schools set this differently, so you pick the bonus your school uses and the calculator shows both numbers side by side.
It uses the common US letter scale, so it works when your grades are already letters. It does not convert percentages, UK degree classes or other national scales, because there is no single official conversion. If you are applying to a US programme, check how that programme wants your grades reported.
