GPA Calculation Formula

This calculator works on standard GPA Formula: GPA = (Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ Total Credit Hours. Quality points is calculated from multiplying each grade’s point value by the class credits. For example,

1. A 3 credit class with an A (4.0), a 4 credit class with a B+ (3.3), and a 3 credit class with a C (2.0).

2. (3×4.0 = 12) + (4×3.3 = 13.2) + (3×2.0 = 6) = 31.2 quality points.

3. Divide 31.2 ÷ 10 total credits = 3.12 GPA.
