How GPA Works in the US?
GPA stands for Grade Point Average. This means each letter grade is given a point value. GPA is the total of points acquired multiplied by the credits. Then divided by the total credits.
Formula:
GPA = Σ(points × credits) ÷ Σ(credits)
Letter to Points (Common Scales)
| Letter | 4.0 Scale | 4.33 Scale |
| A+ | 4 | 4.33 |
| A | 4 | 4 |
| A- | 3.7 | 3.67 |
| B+ | 3.3 | 3.33 |
| B | 3 | 3 |
| B- | 2.7 | 2.67 |
| C+ | 2.3 | 2.33 |
| C | 2 | 2 |
| C- | 1.7 | 1.67 |
| D+ | 1.3 | 1.33 |
| D | 1 | 1 |
| D- | 0.7 | 0.67 |
| F | 0 | 0 |
Note: Schools may have slightly different scales. Use Custom if your school’s values differ. You can use some of thebest-known tools for a better experience.
Weighted vs Unweighted (Course Bonuses)
Some schools give extra points for tougher classes. You can set this in the tool.
| Level | Bonus |
| Regular | 0 |
| Honors | 0.5 |
| AP / IB | 1 |
Percent to Letter Thresholds (Example)
| Percent Range | Letter | Points (4.0 Scale) |
| 97–100 | A+ | 4 |
| 93–96 | A | 4 |
| 90–92 | A- | 3.7 |
| 87–89 | B+ | 3.3 |
| 83–86 | B | 3 |
| 80–82 | B- | 2.7 |
| 77–79 | C+ | 2.3 |
| 73–76 | C | 2 |
| 70–72 | C- | 1.7 |
| 67–69 | D+ | 1.3 |
| 63–66 | D | 1 |
| 60–62 | D- | 0.7 |
| < 60 | F | 0 |
Always match the exact thresholds your school publishes.
Examples You Can Copy
1st Example: Unweighted (4 Scale)
| Course | Credits | Grade | Points | Points × Credits |
| Algebra II | 4 | A- | 3.7 | 14.8 |
| English | 3 | B+ | 3.3 | 9.9 |
| Biology | 4 | B | 3 | 12 |
| US History | 3 | A | 4 | 12 |
| Totals | 14 | 48.7 |
The resulting GPA after dividing 48.7 by 14 is equal to 3.48
2nd Example: Weighted Semester (Honors/AP)
- Algebra A- subject refers to → 3.7 + 1.0 = 4.7
- Biology B subject refers to3.0 + 0.5 = 3.5
Grades can be calculated by multiplying them by credits
3rd Example: Cumulative GPA (Two Values)
- Value 1: 3.00
- Value 2: 3.50
- Cumulative: 3.27
4th Example: Different Grading Scales Comparison
If you manage to get 2 A+ grades, then this will be very good for you. Getting A+ grades helps you boost your GPA. But if you have major GPA gaps, then this will have a minor effect.
Gaining knowledge of Credits and Quality Points
- Credits formula = weightage ( 4 4-credit class has more effect on your GPA as compared to 1 1-credit class).
- Quality points = grade points × credits. Before dividing by the total credits, sum all of them.
Common Mistakes And Their Solutions
| Mistake | Result | Fix |
| Wrong scale | GPA mismatch | Choose 4.0 vs 4.33 correctly |
| Ignoring the course level | Lower weighted GPA | Mark Honors/AP/IB |
| Rounding too soon | Errors of 0.01–0.03 | Keep 3–4 decimals |
| Counting P/F as points | Inflated GPA | Record credits only |
| Wrong thresholds | Wrong letter grades | Enter exact cutoffs |
What If Planning (Set a Target)
Formula:
Q = [(TGPA × (CC + PC)) − (CGPA × CC)] ÷ PC
Where:
- CGPA = current GPA
- CC = completed credits
- PC = planned credits
- TGPA = target GPA
Templates
| Situation | Inputs | Note |
| Raise GPA before apps | CGPA 3.45, CC 40; PC 16; TGPA 3.70 | Big-credit classes help more |
| Recover from a low GPA | CGPA 2.80, CC 36; PC 15; TGPA 3.20 | Balance tough classes |
Case Studies
Case A: High School Student struggling for 3.7
- Your current Semester GPA is equal to 3.45 divided by 40 credits
- Determined to get 16 credits (two AP classes)
- Target: 3.70

Case B: A high-level student making improvements to recover (2.8 → 3.2)
- You can calculate your current semester GPA by dividing 2.80 by 36 credits
- Determined to acquire 15 credits
- Final goal: 3.20
Two terms require 3.6. The calculator shows moving Organic Chem to spring balances the workload. You can enjoy both the study sessions and the lab lectures. Both are fun if you have an interest in them.
