A GPA combines course grades into a single average. A weighted GPA gives more influence to courses with more credits.

How to use this calculator

Convert each grade to grade points, multiply by its credit weight, add the products and divide by total credits. Confirm the scale used by your institution.

Worked example

A 4.0 grade in a 3-credit course and a 3.0 grade in a 1-credit course produce a weighted GPA of 3.75.

When this calculator is useful

When not to rely on it
