GPA calculator: calculate your weighted academic average
GPA (Grade Point Average) is the most widely used academic indicator worldwide. It is calculated as the weighted average of grades obtained in each subject, where the weight corresponds to the number of credits.
Our calculator supports two common scales: the 4.0 scale (US standard where A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0) and the 5.0 scale used in some countries.
GPA is a critical factor for scholarships, graduate programs, and job opportunities. If you need to convert between scales, the basic formula is: new_GPA = (current_GPA / current_scale) x new_scale.
Frequently asked questions
How is weighted GPA calculated?
Weighted GPA is calculated by multiplying each course's grade by its credits, adding all those values, and dividing by the total credits. For example: if you have Math (A=4.0, 4 credits) and History (B=3.0, 3 credits), your GPA would be (4.0x4 + 3.0x3) / (4+3) = (16+9)/7 = 3.57.
What GPA do I need for a scholarship?
Requirements vary widely. Government scholarships like Fulbright usually require a minimum of 3.0/4.0. Competitive academic scholarships at top universities may require 3.7/4.0 or higher. Remember that GPA is just one of several selection criteria.
Can I convert my GPA from a 5.0 scale to 4.0?
The simple conversion is to multiply your GPA by 4/5 (or 0.8). A 4.5/5.0 would equal 3.6/4.0. However, this direct conversion is not always accepted by universities, as grading scales reflect different educational systems. Some institutions use specific conversion tables or request credential evaluation from organizations like WES (World Education Services).
