Institutional Note: Academic Disclaimer: Grading standards and conversions vary across institutions and credential evaluators.

Scale: Unweighted 4.0 (A=4.0, A-=3.7, B+=3.3…). P/NP, W, I grades are excluded. GPA = Σ(grade point × credits) / Σ credits.

How to use

1Add each course with its letter grade (A+ through F) and credit hours.
2All courses are treated equally — Honors, AP or IB difficulty does not add extra points.
3Your unweighted GPA appears instantly. Use it when colleges or applications ask for GPA on a standard 4.0 scale.

Formula

GPA = Σ (grade point × credits) / Σ credits

Each letter grade converts to a point value (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, etc.). Quality points per course equal grade point × credits. Sum all quality points and divide by total credits. No weighting for course difficulty is applied.

Examples

AP English A (5cr), Chemistry B+ (4cr), Algebra A- (4cr), Spanish B (3cr)

QP: 20.0 + 13.2 + 14.8 + 9.0 = 57.0 ÷ 16 credits.
