Compare calculators
Both calculators run independently — change the inputs on either side to compare results.
GPA Calculator
Calculate your Grade Point Average from total grade points and total credit hours — the standard metric used by US high schools and universities to summarise academic performance. Enter the sum of all the grade points you have earned (for example, an A in a 3-credit class on a 4.0 scale contributes 4.0 × 3 = 12 points), the total number of credit hours those classes carried, the maximum value of your scale (4.0, 4.3, 4.5, or 5.0), and how many decimal places you want. The calculator returns your weighted GPA, capped at the scale maximum. This is the figure that appears on transcripts and that colleges, scholarship committees, and graduate programs use for screening.
Final Grade Calculator
Find the minimum score you need on your final exam to reach a target overall grade, given your current grade and the final's weight. The 'what do I need on the final?' calculator every student wants the week before exams.
