How Our GPA Calculator Computes Your GPA
Our Advanced GPA Calculator is designed to provide you with an accurate and personalized calculation of your Grade Point Average (GPA). Here's how it works:
Comprehensive Course Input
You can add multiple semesters and courses, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your academic performance over time. Each course entry includes:
- Course Name
- Credits earned for the course
- Grade received
- Weight (for Honors, AP, or IB courses)
Customizable Grading Scale
Our calculator uses a standard 4.0 grading scale but also accommodates weighted grades to reflect the rigor of advanced courses:
- Standard Courses: Unweighted
- Honors Courses: Adds +0.5 to the grade point
- AP/IB/College Courses: Adds +1.0 to the grade point
Accurate GPA Computation
We calculate your GPA by summing the total quality points and dividing by the total credits:
Total Quality Points = Sum of (Adjusted Grade Point × Credits) for all courses
GPA = Total Quality Points ÷ Total Credits
This method ensures that both the grades you receive and the credit hours of each course are accurately reflected in your GPA.
Interactive Visualization
After calculation, your GPA is presented alongside a dynamic thermometer visualization, giving you a visual representation of your academic standing.
User-Friendly Interface
Our calculator features an intuitive design, allowing you to easily add or remove courses and semesters, toggle weighted grades, and instantly see your updated GPA.
By incorporating detailed inputs and accommodating weighted courses, our GPA calculator provides a precise reflection of your academic achievements.
