Current Courses
Course names are optional. Credits determine how much each course affects GPA.
Grade scale settings
The default plus/minus values are a common convention, not a universal U.S. standard. Change modes or use your school's official values when needed.

Common 4.0 Grade Scale
One common plus/minus convention is shown below. Your school may assign different values, omit plus/minus grades, or use another GPA scale entirely.
| A | A− | B+ | B | B− | C+ | C | C− | D+ | D | D− | F |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.00 | 3.67 | 3.33 | 3.00 | 2.67 | 2.33 | 2.00 | 1.67 | 1.33 | 1.00 | 0.67 | 0.00 |
How GPA Calculation Works
Credit-weighted GPA
For each graded course, multiply the grade-point value by its GPA credits. Add those quality points and divide by total GPA credits. Courses excluded from GPA by your institution should not be entered as graded courses.
Cumulative GPA
Prior cumulative GPA can be combined with new coursework by converting the prior GPA back into quality points, adding current quality points, and dividing by combined GPA credits.
Weighted high school GPA
There is no single national weighted-GPA formula. Schools may add different bonuses for Honors, AP, IB, dual-enrollment or other advanced courses. The weighted mode here is customizable and should be matched to your school's policy.
Official GPA can differ
Institutional policies may treat repeats, withdrawals, pass/fail courses, transfer credits and plus/minus grades differently. For example, UT Austin's official calculator explicitly states that its rules are specific to UT Austin.
