# GPA Calculator Calculate credit-weighted GPA from course names, credit hours, and letter or numeric grades > Canonical page: https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/gpa-calculator - **Category:** Math & Numbers - **Keywords:** gpa calculator, grade point average, credit hours, grades, calculator ## Overview The GPA Calculator provides a fast and accurate way to determine your cumulative or semester grade point average by weighting grades against credit hours. It supports both letter grades and numeric values, allowing students to track academic performance across different grading systems with precision. ## Inputs - **Course Data** (textarea): One course per line: Name | Credits | Grade Math | 3 | A History | 4 | B+ Biology | 3 | 3.7 - **Decimal Places** (number) ## When to use - Calculating a semester GPA after receiving final grades to track academic standing. - Determining a cumulative GPA to verify eligibility for scholarships or graduation honors. - Projecting a future GPA by inputting expected grades for current enrollment. ## How it works - Enter course details including the name, credit hours, and grade received using the pipe separator format. - Specify the desired decimal precision for the final calculation result. - The tool converts letter grades to standard numeric points and multiplies them by the credit hours for each course. - The total quality points are divided by the total credits to generate the final weighted GPA. ## Use cases - University students calculating major-specific GPA for internship and job applications. - High school students tracking weighted GPA for college admissions and transcript verification. - Academic advisors verifying student progress toward honors or degree completion requirements. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I use numeric grades instead of letters? Yes, the tool accepts both letter grades (like A or B+) and numeric grade points (like 3.7). ### What format should I use for course data? Use the format 'Course Name | Credits | Grade' with one course per line. ### Does the tool handle different credit weights? Yes, it calculates a weighted average based on the specific credit hours assigned to each individual course. ### How many decimal places can I set for the result? You can configure the output to show between 0 and 10 decimal places using the decimal places option. ### What are quality points in the output? Quality points are the product of a course's credit hours and the numeric value of the grade earned. ## Related tools - [Absolute Value Calculator](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/absolute-value-calculator): Calculate the absolute value of positive, negative, or decimal numbers and explain the sign relationship - [Adjusted R-Squared Calculator](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/adjusted-r-squared-calculator): Calculate adjusted R squared from R squared, sample size, and predictor count - [Bolt Torque Clamp Force Calculator](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/bolt-torque-clamp-force): Convert between bolt tightening torque and axial clamp force.
