Learn how GPA is calculated and what it means for your academic success
Grade Point Average (GPA) is a numerical representation of your academic performance. It's calculated by dividing the total grade points earned by the total credit hours attempted. GPA is used by schools, employers, and scholarship committees to evaluate academic achievement.
Most common in U.S. schools.
Often used for honors or AP/IB classes.
Some universities and countries use 7.0, 10.0, or percentage-based systems. Our GPA Calculator supports conversion to percentage.
To convert GPA to percentage, many U.S. schools use:
Percentage = (GPA / 4.0) × 100
Example: GPA 3.2 → (3.2 ÷ 4.0) × 100 = 80%. Policies vary, so
check your institution’s scale.
A high GPA can improve chances for:
However, GPA is just one factor—essays, extracurriculars, and recommendations also play a role.
Get answers to common questions about GPA calculation and academic performance
Multiply each course grade value by its credit hours, sum the totals, and divide by total credit hours. Our calculator automates this process.
Unweighted uses the standard 4.0 scale. Weighted GPA accounts for advanced coursework, with AP/IB classes often scored on a 5.0 scale.
3.0+ is considered good, 3.5+ excellent. For competitive universities, scholarships, or honors programs, aim for 3.7+.
Add all grade points across semesters and divide by total credits. The calculator provides cumulative GPA automatically when you enter all courses.
Yes. On a 4.0 scale, GPA × 25 = %. Example: 3.6 GPA ≈ 90%. Always check your school’s conversion chart.
Some schools use 5.0 or 7.0 scales, and international systems often differ. Use the weighted GPA calculator or percentage conversion as needed.
Your official GPA is fixed after graduation. You can, however, take additional courses or graduate programs to demonstrate academic growth.
Yes. A grade in a 4-credit course weighs more than in a 1-credit course. GPA reflects both grades and course load.
Pass/fail courses usually don’t affect GPA. They may count for credits but don’t contribute grade points.
Focus on high-credit classes, retake failed courses if possible, and improve performance in current courses. Long-term effort matters most.
