GPA Calculator
A GPA calculator helps students calculate their Grade Point Average from course credit hours and grades. GPA is commonly used by colleges and universities to measure academic performance over a semester or academic term.
How to Calculate GPA
GPA is generally calculated by multiplying the grade point of each course by its credit hours, adding the resulting quality points, and dividing the total by the number of attempted credit hours.
Why University Grading Scales Matter
Universities and institutions do not always use the same percentage boundaries. For example, one institution may award an A at 80%, while another may use 75% as the minimum for an A. This GPA calculator allows students to customize the grading scale so the calculation can match their institution.
GPA Calculator for Different Universities
Whether you are studying in Pakistan or another country, your university may use its own grading policy. Use the Custom University Scale option to enter your minimum percentage, letter grade and corresponding grade point.
The calculator is designed to be flexible rather than relying on one fixed percentage-to-grade conversion.
How Credit Hours Affect GPA
Credit hours determine how much weight each course has in your GPA. A course with more credit hours contributes more to the overall GPA than a course with fewer credit hours, assuming the same grade point.
