Turn your grade points and credit hours into a semester GPA — credit-weighted or simple average, on a 4.0 or 10.0 scale, with the working shown.
Try it
Nothing leaves your deviceEnter your courses and grade points, then press Calculate — your GPA appears here.
Grade bands shown are rough guides only — every institution sets its own thresholds. Check your university's official grading policy before using a GPA formally.
How to use this calculator
- Pick your grading scale. Choose 10.0 or 4.0 to match the scale your institution reports — grade points are validated against it.
- Add your courses. Three rows are ready; use + Add course for more and the × button to remove one.
- Enter grade points for each course, plus credits if you know them. With credits the result is credit-weighted; without them it's a simple average.
- Press Calculate to see your GPA, total credits and a rough band. Copy the result with one click.
Useful information
GPA — Grade Point Average — compresses one term's results into a single number. It's the figure transcripts, scholarship forms and graduate applications ask for, so it's worth knowing exactly how yours is produced.
Credit-weighted GPA
When credit hours are available, each grade point is multiplied by that course's credits, the products are summed, and the total is divided by the credit sum: GPA = Σ(grade point × credits) ÷ Σ(credits). A 4-credit course then influences your average four times as much as a 1-credit one — which is how most institutions compute it.
Simple average GPA
Leave the credits column blank and the calculator averages your grade points equally. That's fine when every course carries the same weight, or when your school doesn't publish credits.
4.0 vs 10.0 scales
The maths is identical — only the ceiling changes. US institutions commonly report on a 4.0 scale (often with letter grades like A = 4.0), while many Indian, Canadian and European institutions use a 10.0 scale. Always enter grade points exactly as awarded and select the matching scale; converting between scales yourself can introduce rounding errors.
GPA vs CGPA: GPA covers one semester, CGPA covers everything so far. For cumulative results, use the CGPA Calculator.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between GPA and CGPA?
GPA is your grade average for one semester or term. CGPA is the cumulative average across all semesters so far — so one semester's GPA feeds into your CGPA.
How is GPA calculated?
With credit hours it is credit-weighted: sum of (grade point × credits) divided by the sum of credits. Without credits, it is the simple average of your grade points.
Should I use a 4.0 or 10.0 scale?
Use whichever scale your institution reports. Most universities in the US use 4.0; many in India, Canada and Europe use 10.0 (or 5.0). Enter grade points exactly as awarded and pick the matching scale.
What is a good GPA?
It depends on your institution and country, but as a rough guide on a 4.0 scale a 3.0 is solid and 3.5+ is strong; on a 10.0 scale 7.0+ is good and 8.5+ is excellent. Always compare against your own school's grading bands.
Are my grades stored anywhere?
No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser — your subjects and grade points are never sent to a server or saved by Jivora.
