GPA • Unweighted
Unweighted GPA Calculator
Calculate unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale — all courses equal.
Direct Answer
An unweighted GPA measures academic achievement on a standard 4.0 scale regardless of course difficulty level: A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, and F = 0.0.

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| Variable | Name | Meaning & Example |
|---|---|---|
| Grade | Letter Grade | Letter grade assigned by instructor (A, B, C) |
| Points | Fixed Points | Grade points capped at 4.0 regardless of course level (4.0, 3.0, 2.0) |
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.
