Introduction: Your Time is Valuable
Finals are over. The last thing you want to do is sit down with a pile of transcripts, credit hours, and complex conversion formulas.
You just want one number: What is your GPA?
You need a tool that handles the mess for you. That's exactly what our Ultimate GPA Calculator does.
Quick Guide: Which Algorithm Should You Choose?
Our calculator supports multiple modes. If you're unsure which one fits your school, check this guide:
1. Standard 4.0 Scale (Unweighted)
Best for: Most High School & College Students
This is the universal standard. It treats all classes equally, regardless of difficulty.
Simple. Direct. No bonus points.
2. Weighted 5.0 Scale
Best for: Students taking AP, IB, or Honors classes
Schools reward you for taking harder classes by giving them "bonus points".
- AP / IB Classes: An 'A' counts as 5.0 (Scale max is 5.0).
- Honors Classes: An 'A' usually counts as 4.5.
Tip: If your transcript says "Weighted GPA", use this mode. It's how some students get above a 4.0!
3. Percentage (%)
Best for: Numeric transcripts (0-100)
Only have numbers like "92" or "85"? No problem. We have a built-in conversion table that automatically maps your percentage to the correct GPA point value (e.g., 93-100 → 4.0).
Why Use Our Calculator?
Doing this by hand is prone to errors. The biggest mistake students make? Forgetting Credit Weight.
The "Credit" Trap
A 4-credit Calculus class affects your GPA 4x more than a 1-credit PE class. Simple averaging (adding grades / number of classes) yields the wrong answer. Our calculator handles this Math automatically.
How to Use (3 Steps)
- Add Classes: Enter name (optional) and Credits (usually 1, 3, or 4).
- Enter Grades: Select Letter Grade or type a Percentage.
- Select Type: If it's AP/Honors, toggle the "Weighted" switch (if available).
