GPA Calculator

Convert letter grades to your GPA in seconds.

Type in your letter grades and get your grade point average instantly. It uses the standard 4.0 scale with plus/minus grades (A = 4.0, B+ = 3.3, C = 2.0, F = 0.0), so the result matches what most schools and universities use. Perfect for checking a semester GPA or seeing what one grade change would do.

How it's calculated

Each letter grade is converted to its 4.0-scale value (A = 4.0, B+ = 3.3, B- = 2.7, F = 0.0) and the values are averaged.

Frequently asked questions

What is a GPA?

GPA (grade point average) is the average of your grades on a 4.0 scale. An A counts as 4.0, a B as 3.0, a C as 2.0, a D as 1.0, and an F as 0.0, with plus and minus grades landing between them.

Is a 3.5 GPA good?

Yes — a 3.5 GPA is roughly halfway between an A and a B average, which is above average at most schools. Many scholarship programs and honors societies look for a 3.5 or higher.

How do I raise my GPA?

Focus on your lowest grades first, since each grade counts equally in an unweighted GPA. One A replacing a C moves the average much more than turning a B+ into an A.
