Calculate GPA, total credits, or the sum of grade points × course credits from any two values in this simple credit-to-GPA calculator.
Credit To GPA Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the GPA for a given sum of (Grade Points * Course Credits) and total credits.
GPA = \frac{S}{C}Variables:
- GPA is the Grade Point Average
- S is the sum of (Grade Points * Course Credits)
- C is the total credits
To calculate the GPA, divide the sum of (Grade Points * Course Credits) by the total credits.

What is GPA?
GPA, or Grade Point Average, is a standard way of measuring academic achievement in the U.S. It is calculated by dividing the total amount of grade points earned by the total amount of credit hours attempted. GPA is used by schools to assess the academic performance of students and is often a key factor in college admissions and scholarship decisions.
How to Calculate GPA?
The following steps outline how to calculate the GPA.
- First, determine the grade points for each course.
- Next, multiply the grade points by the course credits for each course.
- Sum the results from step 2 to get the total sum of (Grade Points * Course Credits).
- Sum the total credits for all courses.
- Finally, divide the total sum of (Grade Points * Course Credits) by the total credits to get the GPA.
- After inserting the values and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
