How to Calculate GPA (Step-by-Step)

GPA Formula Explained:

The standard GPA formula is:

{GPA} = \frac{\text{Total Grade Points}}{\text{Total Credits}}

Example:

• A in a 3-credit course → 4.0 × 3 = 12

• B in a 4-credit course → 3.0 × 4 = 12

• Total Points = 24, Total Credits = 7

• GPA = 24 ÷ 7 = 3.42

Example 1 – High School GPA

Total Credits = 9, Total Points = 33.3 → GPA = 3.7

Example 2 – College GPA

Total Credits = 9, Total Points = 29.4 → GPA = 3.26

GPA Scale – Weighted vs. Unweighted GPA

• Unweighted GPA: Calculated on a 4.0 scale without considering course difficulty.

• Weighted GPA: Considers honors, AP, or IB courses, often using a 5.0 scale.
