GPA Calculator — Track Your Semester GPA in Minutes

This GPA calculator helps you estimate your semester GPA quickly and clearly. Add your courses, select your grades, enter credits, and the tool will calculate your GPA instantly. It’s a simple way to monitor your academic progress and understand how each class affects your overall result.

How GPA Is Calculated

GPA is based on grade points and course credits. Each grade has a numeric value (for example, A = 4.0, B = 3.0, F = 0.0). To calculate GPA, the tool multiplies the grade value by the credits for each course, adds everything together, and then divides by your total credits.

How to Use This Smart GPA Calculator

1. Click “Add New Course” to create a row for each class.
2. (Optional) Enter a course name to stay organized.
3. Select your expected or final grade.
4. Enter the number of credits for that course.
5. Your current GPA and total credits update automatically.

Why Credits Matter

Credits act like “weight” in the calculation. A 4-credit course affects your GPA more than a 1-credit course. That’s why it’s important to enter credits accurately—especially for major classes or labs.

Quick Tips to Improve Your GPA

• Focus on higher-credit courses first—they have the biggest impact.
• Set a realistic target GPA for the semester and track it regularly.
• Use the calculator to test “what-if” scenarios before finals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a cumulative GPA calculator?
This tool is designed for semester calculations. For cumulative GPA, you can add all completed courses and credits, or use a separate cumulative GPA tool if your school uses a different method.

What if my school uses a different grading scale?
Some schools use different point systems (for example, A+ or a 5.0 scale). If needed, you can adjust the grade options in the calculator to match your institution’s policy.

Do course names affect the GPA result?
No. Course names are optional and only help you keep track of your classes.
