How to Calculate GPA
GPA (Grade Point Average) summarizes academic performance on a standardized scale, typically 4.0 in the United States.
Basic Steps
- Convert each letter grade to grade points (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0)
- Multiply each grade point by credit hours for that course
- Sum quality points and divide by total credit hours
Weighted GPAs may add extra points for honors or AP courses. Use our GPA Calculator for quick results.
