Calculator
What the GPA Calculator does
GPA Calculator: calculates GPA from Courses: one per line: name, grade, credits. Example: the sample loaded on the page gives GPA 3.55.
Feed it Courses: one per line: name, grade, credits; it hands back GPA. Everything recomputes live, which makes it easy to test a few scenarios in a row.
Knowing where you stand before the final exam changes how you revise. The GPA Calculator exists to take that particular chore off your hands.
Your data stays on your machine. Once the page has loaded you could disconnect entirely and it would still work.
Below the tool you will find the field reference, the method, and an example computed from the values it opens with.
What do the GPA Calculator fields mean?
The GPA Calculator uses 1 input. The fields arrive populated, which makes it easy to nudge a single figure and watch what moves.
| Field | What to enter | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Courses: one per line: name, grade, credits | paste or type any amount of text | Calculus, A, 4 History, B+, 3 Biology, A-, 4 English, B, 3 |
How does the GPA Calculator work?
Each output is derived from the inputs above in a single pass; there is no hidden state carried between runs, so the same inputs always give the same calculation.
Inputs are validated before anything is computed, so a bad entry is reported rather than quietly producing a wrong answer.
Worked example
These are the values the GPA Calculator loads by default, and the result it produces from them. The numbers below come straight from the default inputs, so you can verify them against the live tool.
| Courses: one per line: name, grade, credits | Calculus, A, 4 History, B+, 3 Biology, A-, 4 English, B, 3 |
|---|
| GPA | 3.55 |

How to use it
- Paste your content into Courses: one per line: name, grade, credits.
- The answer follows your cursor, in effect. Change a field and read the new figure.
- Look at GPA in the output panel.
- To keep the result, either copy the link or print the page. Both preserve what is on screen.
What this tool does not do
- Grading scales differ between institutions; check your own scale before relying on a converted figure.
- Weightings vary by course, so confirm the rules your school actually applies.
- Values outside the documented ranges are rejected rather than approximated.
