GPA Calculator
Calculate your grade point average (GPA) from your courses, letter grades, and credit hours. Supports Regular, Honors, AP, IB, and College-level grade types for weighted GPA. You can also include a previous cumulative GPA and find the GPA needed in upcoming courses to reach a target.

Target GPA Calculator
Find the GPA you need to achieve in upcoming courses to reach a target cumulative GPA.
How to Calculate GPA
GPA is a weighted average of your grade points, where each course's grade is weighted by the number of credit hours it carries. A 4-credit course has twice the impact on your GPA as a 2-credit course.
Formula
GPA = (c₁ × g₁ + c₂ × g₂ + ... + cₙ × gₙ) ÷ (c₁ + c₂ + ... + cₙ)
Example:
Math 3cr A (4.0) + English 3cr B+ (3.33) + History 2cr A− (3.67)
= (3×4.0 + 3×3.33 + 2×3.67) ÷ (3+3+2) = 29.33 ÷ 8 = 3.67
GPA to Letter Grade Conversion
| Letter Grade | GPA Points |
|---|---|
| A+ | 4.33 |
| A | 4.00 |
| A− | 3.67 |
| B+ | 3.33 |
| B | 3.00 |
| B− | 2.67 |
| C+ | 2.33 |
| C | 2.00 |
| C− | 1.67 |
| D+ | 1.33 |
| D | 1.00 |
| D− | 0.67 |
| F | 0.00 |
Weighted GPA — Grade Type Bonuses
For high school weighted GPA, courses above the regular level add bonus points to the standard grade value. An A in an AP course earns 5.0 points instead of 4.0.
| Grade Type | Bonus | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | 0 | Standard course |
| Honors | +0.5 | Honors English |
| AP | +1.0 | AP Calculus |
| IB | +1.0 | IB History |
| College | +1.0 | Dual enrollment |
How the Target GPA Calculator Works
If you know your current cumulative GPA and credits, you can find the GPA you need to achieve in a set of upcoming courses to hit a target overall GPA.
Needed GPA = (Target × (Current Credits + Additional Credits) − Current GPA × Current Credits) ÷ Additional Credits
Example:
Current GPA 3.20 over 60 credits, target 3.50, taking 15 more credits
= (3.50 × 75 − 3.20 × 60) ÷ 15 = (262.5 − 192) ÷ 15 = 4.70
A result above 4.0 (or above the weighted scale maximum) means the target is not reachable in that number of additional credits alone.
P and NP Grades
Pass (P) and No Pass (NP) grades are not included in GPA calculations. They may count toward total credits required for graduation but do not affect your grade point average. Select P or NP from the grade dropdown and the calculator will automatically exclude that row from the GPA computation.
