Unweighted GPA Calculator

An unweighted GPA puts every class on the same 4.0 scale: an A is worth 4 points whether it was in a regular, honors or AP course. Colleges often recalculate applicants’ GPAs this way so that students from different schools can be compared. Enter your courses with their grades and credits to get your unweighted GPA, and add your previous GPA and credits to update a cumulative figure.

How to use this tool

1. Type one course per line: a name, the grade and the credits, separated by commas.
2. Use letter grades such as A−, B+ or C, or percentages such as 91.
3. Choose whether your school counts plus and minus grades and what an A+ is worth.
4. Optionally add your previous cumulative GPA and credits to see the new cumulative GPA.

Formula

GPA = Σ (grade points × credits) ÷ Σ credits

Grade points: 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. Grade points × credits are called quality points. Courses worth more credits move the GPA more.

Example

With the default courses — A− in English, B+ in Algebra II, A in Chemistry, B in US History, A in Spanish (all 1 credit) and A in a half-credit Art class — the quality points are 3.7 + 3.3 + 4 + 3 + 4 + 2 = 20 over 5.5 credits, so the unweighted GPA is 20 ÷ 5.5 = 3.64, closest to an A−.
