Example
Example: a freshman’s fall semester, five graded classes and a pass/fail — GPA 3.30
A first-year student at a US college types the semester as it appears on the transcript, one class per line with grade and credits, and leaves the scale on the page’s own (US, 4.0). The P in Physical Education has no grade points, so that line is left out.
- GPA = 49.5 ÷ 15 credits = 3.30, shown as “Average: 3.30, Credits: 15”, with the PE line listed under “Left out”.
- What if Chemistry had been a B? 3.0 × 4 = 12.0 instead of 9.2, and the GPA rises to 3.49.
- For the cumulative GPA after spring, type each semester as a line: “Fall 2025 3.30 15” and “Spring 2026 3.62 16” give 3.47 over 31 credits.
| Class | Grade | Credits | Points | Points × credits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Calculus I | B+ | 4 | 3.3 | 13.2 |
| Intro to Psychology | A | 3 | 4.0 | 12.0 |
| English Composition | A- | 3 | 3.7 | 11.1 |
| General Chemistry | C+ | 4 | 2.3 | 9.2 |
| Chemistry Lab | A | 1 | 4.0 | 4.0 |
| Physical Education | P | 1 | — | left out |
| Total | 15 | 49.5 |
A semester GPA of 3.30 on 15 credits. The 4-credit classes weigh most: the C+ in General Chemistry pulls the average down more than an A in the 1-credit lab can pull it up.
How it works
- Type one class per line: the name (optional), the grade, then the credits.
- Leave the credits out and every class counts the same.
- The GPA appears with the total credits and how each line was read.
Frequently asked questions
- How is a GPA worked out?
- Each grade is turned into points — A is 4.0, A- 3.7, B+ 3.3, B 3.0 and so on down to F at 0 — multiplied by the class’s credits, and the total divided by all the credits. A+ counts 4.0, as at most US colleges.
- What about pass/fail classes?
- A P, NP, S, U or W has no grade points, so the line is left out of the average (and its credits with it), as a transcript does. It is listed under the result so you can see it was skipped.
- Can I weight by percentages?
- Yes. Choose the plain weighted average and write the weights as 30%, 40%, 30% — or as any numbers; they need not add up to 100.
- Does it work for other countries?
- Yes: Korea’s 4.5 and 4.3 scales, Japan’s GPA and 1–5 marks, German grades where 1 is best, French marks out of 20 with coefficients, Spain and Brazil out of 10, Italian university marks with CFU, and Turkish school averages by weekly hours.
- How do I work out my cumulative GPA?
- Type each semester as one line with its GPA and the credits it carried — “Fall 2025 3.30 15”, “Spring 2026 3.62 16” — and the average is weighted by the credits: 3.47 over 31 here. Or type every class from every semester; the result is the same, give or take the rounding of each semester’s GPA.
- Can it do a weighted high-school GPA with honors and AP classes?
- There is no automatic bonus. Choose “Any numbers — a plain weighted average” and type the points your school gives: an A in an AP class as 5.0, an honors A as 4.5 if that is your school’s rule. The 4.0 scale takes letters and points up to 4.3 and leaves out anything higher.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. It is worked out in your browser, and nothing you type leaves your computer.
