How to Calculate Your GPA Manually

Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is a numerical representation of your academic performance. Most universities and high schools in the United States use a 4.0 scale. Understanding how this number is derived is crucial for tracking your academic progress and meeting graduation or scholarship requirements.

The GPA Calculation Formula

The standard formula for calculating GPA is:

GPA = Total Quality Points / Total Credit Hours

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Assign Points to Letter Grades: Convert your letter grades into their numerical equivalents (e.g., A = 4.0, B = 3.0).
  2. Calculate Quality Points: For each class, multiply the grade point value by the number of credits the class is worth. For example, an ‘A’ in a 3-credit course equals 12 quality points (4.0 × 3).
  3. Total the Points: Add up all the quality points from all your courses.
  4. Total the Credits: Add up the total number of credit hours you attempted.
  5. Divide: Divide the total quality points by the total credit hours.

Standard 4.0 GPA Scale Table

Letter Grade Percent Grade Point
A 93-100 4.0
A- 90-92 3.7
B+ 87-89 3.3
B 83-86 3.0
B- 80-82 2.7
C+ 77-79 2.3
C 73-76 2.0
F Below 60 0.0

GPA Example Calculation

Imagine you took three classes this semester:

  • Biology (4 Credits): Grade A (4.0) -> 4 * 4.0 = 16.0 points
  • English (3 Credits): Grade B (3.0) -> 3 * 3.0 = 9.0 points
  • History (3 Credits): Grade C (2.0) -> 3 * 2.0 = 6.0 points

Total Points: 16 + 9 + 6 = 31.0
Total Credits: 4 + 3 + 3 = 10
GPA: 31.0 / 10 = 3.10
