H1_GPA Calculator - 4.0 Scale, Any Credits | MultiTool

How it works

Add each course with its letter grade (A+ to F) and credit hours. The tool computes the credit-weighted GPA on the 4.0 scale and shows the total credits used.

How GPA actually works

GPA is a credit-weighted average of grade points. The formula this calculator uses:

• Credits are the weight: an A in a 4-credit course moves your GPA twice as much as an A in a 2-credit course — that is the whole point of weighting.
• Unweighted vs weighted: the standard US scale caps at 4.0 (unweighted). Honors/AP/IB courses often use a weighted scale that can exceed 5.0 — check which one your transcript uses before comparing.
• Typical mapping: A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0 — with +/− steps in between at many schools.
• International students: grading systems vary wildly (0–10 in the Netherlands, percentages in India, 5-point in Russia). Convert to the 4.0 scale only when the receiving institution asks for it.
• Raising a GPA: because it is an average, early low grades dilute slowly — the fastest recovery is more (and better) weighted credits, not calculating harder.
