Formulas: Ratio = Score₁ ÷ Score₂. Difference = (Score₁ − Score₂) ÷ Score₂ × 100%.

How to use

1Enter your current GPA and its total credits.
2Enter a second GPA with its credits — for example from a community college, another institution, or an earlier program.
3The calculator shows each GPA separately and the combined credit-weighted average.

Formula

Combined GPA = (GPA₁ × credits₁ + GPA₂ × credits₂) ÷ (credits₁ + credits₂)

Each GPA is converted to total quality points by multiplying by its credits. Sum the quality points and divide by the combined credits. This is the same math the cumulative calculator uses when combining records.

Examples

GPA 3.0 over 60 credits + GPA 3.8 over 30 credits

(3.0×60 + 3.8×30) ÷ 90 = (180 + 114) ÷ 90.

Combined GPA 3.27

About

The GPA Comparison Calculator compares two grade point averages and computes a combined credit-weighted result. Enter each GPA with the credits it was earned over, and the tool shows both values alongside the properly weighted combination. This is useful when transferring between institutions, combining records from two programs, or evaluating how a second academic record changes your overall standing. Because GPAs are weighted by credits, the combined figure is a mathematically accurate average rather than a simple mean of the two numbers.
