What is the GPA Calculator?
A GPA calculator averages your grades weighted by credit hours, using GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ total credits on the US 4.0 scale (A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0 and so on). An A in a 4-credit class therefore counts for more than an A in a 3-credit class.
AnyShift shows your unweighted semester GPA and a weighted GPA that adds 0.5 for Honors and 1.0 for AP/IB courses. It also gives your new cumulative GPA when you enter your previous GPA and credits.
How to use the GPA Calculator
- For each class, enter the course name, its Grade (A/A+ to F) and Credits. Click Add course for more.
- Set Level to Honors (+0.5) or AP / IB (+1.0) for weighted classes.
- For a cumulative GPA, enter your Previous cumulative GPA and Previous credits earned.
- Read your semester GPA, weighted GPA, total credits and cumulative GPA, which update as you edit.

This is a common US scale, and each school sets its own percentage cut-offs. To turn coursework scores into a class percentage, use the grade calculator.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my GPA?
Multiply each grade’s points by the class credits, add them up and divide by the total credits. An A (4.0) in a 3-credit class plus a B (3.0) in a 4-credit class gives (12 + 12) ÷ 7 = 3.43.
What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
Unweighted GPA uses the plain 4.0 scale. Weighted GPA adds a bonus for harder classes, here +0.5 for Honors and +1.0 for AP or IB, so it can go above 4.0. Many colleges recalculate GPA their own way.
How do I calculate cumulative GPA?
Combine grade points and credits across all terms: (previous GPA × previous credits + this term’s points) ÷ all credits. A 3.2 over 30 credits plus a 3.8 over 15 credits gives 3.40.
What is a good GPA?
A 2.0 is typically the minimum for good academic standing. A 3.0 (B average) is a common cut-off for scholarships and graduate programs, and 3.5 or higher is considered strong.
Does this work for UK, Canadian or Australian grades?
It uses the US 4.0 letter-grade scale. Canadian schools on 4.0 or 4.3 scales can be approximated, but UK degree classifications and Australia’s 7-point GPA need their own conversion.
