About GPA Calculation
GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of credit hours attempted. Each grade is assigned a point value, which is multiplied by the number of credit hours for that course.
Formula: GPA = Total Grade Points ÷ Total Credit Hours
This calculator supports both letter grade (A-F) and numeric grade (0-100) systems, automatically converting them to the standard 4.0 scale.
