Add your courses, grades, and credit hours for an instant GPA on the 4.0 scale, weighted or unweighted, free and unlimited.
See the average you would need across your upcoming courses to reach a goal, starting from the 10 credits above.
Your grade point average is a weighted mean: each grade becomes a point value, gets multiplied by that course's credit hours, and the total is divided by the total credits attempted. The weighting is the part people miss, which is why a four-credit course moves your average roughly twice as far as a two-credit one.
A is 4.0, B is 3.0, C is 2.0, D is 1.0 and F is 0, with plus and minus grades landing a third of a point either side. Institutions vary at the edges, so check your own handbook when a decision depends on it.
Multiply each grade's points by that course's credits, add them, then divide by total credits. A strong grade in a one-credit seminar cannot rescue a weak one in a four-credit core module.
High schools often reward harder classes: Honors adds 0.5 and AP or IB adds 1.0 to each course's points, so a weighted average can rise above 4.0. Switch on Weighted mode to set a level per course and see both numbers, since colleges look at each differently.
The target planner works the arithmetic in reverse: give it the GPA you want and the credits you have left, and it tells you the average you would need across them, or says plainly when a goal is out of reach in the time remaining.
Semester GPA covers one term, cumulative covers everything you have taken. One hard semester moves the cumulative figure less than most students fear, because it is averaged against every term before it.
The arithmetic runs in your browser as you type. Your grades are not uploaded and not saved unless you choose to.
Convert each grade to points, multiply by the course's credits, add the results, and divide by the total credits. Entering your courses above does exactly that as you type.
It depends entirely on what it is for. Many graduate programmes and employers publish a floor, often around 3.0, and competitive ones sit higher. Check the specific requirement rather than trusting a general number.
Enter your goal and the credits you have left in the target planner and it shows the average you would need to earn across them. If the number comes back above 4.0 the goal is not reachable in that many credits, which is worth knowing early.
Turn on Weighted mode and set each course's level. Honors adds 0.5 and AP or IB adds 1.0 to that course's grade points before the credit-weighted average, which is the scale most US high schools use.
Usually a pass carries the credit without contributing grade points, so it changes your total credits but not your average, while a fail typically counts as zero and does pull it down. Institutions differ, so confirm with yours.
