GPA = Σ(points×credits)/Σcredits
How to use
- 1Enter each course with its grade and credit hours.
- 2Use the 12.0 point values from your school or province's grading table.
- 3See the credit-weighted GPA, which can reach up to 12.0 at the highest grades.
Formula
GPA = Σ (grade point × credits) / Σ credits, where grade points range from 0.0 to 12.0On the Canadian 12.0 scale, letter grades map to points such as A+ = 12, A = 11, A- = 10, and so on. Quality points equal grade point × credits; the GPA is total quality points divided by total credits.
Examples
A+ (3cr), A (3cr), B+ (3cr)
QP: 12×3 = 36, 11×3 = 33, 9×3 = 27 → 96 ÷ 9.

About
The GPA Scale Calculator for the 12.0 scale computes grade point averages on the grading system used by many Canadian high schools and universities. Enter each course with its letter grade and credit hours, and the calculator applies the 12.0 point values — an A+ typically earns 12 points — in the standard credit-weighted formula. Students on this scale use the tool to verify transcript GPAs, plan for scholarship or program requirements, and convert results to the 4.0 scale for applications to US institutions, where a proportional division by three provides a close estimate.
Frequently asked questions
How does the 12.0 scale map to letter grades?
A common mapping is A+ = 12, A = 11, A- = 10, B+ = 9, B = 8, C+ = 7, and so on. Confirm the table used by your province or school.
How do I convert a 12.0 GPA to a 4.0 scale?
Proportionally, divide by 3 (e.g., 12.0 → 4.0). For official evaluations, use your school's tables or a credential evaluation service.
