Calculate semester and cumulative GPA
The 10-point scale and weighted bonuses are examples. Institutions may use different letter mappings, course weights and percentage conversions.
For each course, enter its grade and credit hours. The calculator multiplies grade points by credits, adds the quality points and divides by total credits. To calculate cumulative GPA, add the GPA and completed credits from prior terms; the tool combines them with the current term. A three-credit A changes the result more than a one-credit A because it carries more weight.
Choose a 4.0 letter-grade scale, a 5.0 high-school scale with optional Honors or AP/IB bonus points, or a 10-point numeric scale. Grading rules vary by school: check your transcript or handbook before using the result for admissions or official reporting. The 10-point mode expects grade points directly; it does not assume a universal CGPA-to-percentage conversion.
How to calculate cumulative GPA
If your prior GPA is 3.20 across 30 credits and this term is 3.80 across 15 credits, combine quality points: (3.20 × 30 + 3.80 × 15) ÷ 45 = 3.40. Enter both prior values to reproduce the calculation.
Weighted versus unweighted high-school GPA
On the 4.0 scale, an A earns 4.0 points in every course. On this tool’s 5.0 high-school scale, Honors adds 0.5 and AP/IB adds 1.0 to the base grade, capped at 5.0. Your school may use a different policy.
| Letter grade | 4.0 points | 5.0 weighted example |
|---|---|---|
| A | 4.0 | 4.0 standard / 4.5 Honors / 5.0 AP |
| B | 3.0 | 3.0 standard / 3.5 Honors / 4.0 AP |
| C | 2.0 | 2.0 standard / 2.5 Honors / 3.0 AP |
| D | 1.0 | 1.0 standard / 1.5 Honors / 2.0 AP |
| F | 0.0 | 0.0 for all levels |
How It Works
Pexlii’s GPA Calculator offers a private, streamlined environment for students to track academic performance without logging into university portals or sharing academic records with third-party apps. The calculation engine maps each letter grade to standard collegiate grade points: A+ and A receive 4.0, A- is 3.7, B+ is 3.3, down to F at 0.0. The tool multiplies each grade point by the course’s respective credit hours to determine total quality points earned. It then divides total quality points by total credits attempted to compute your semester GPA. If you toggle on the cumulative mode, the calculator merges your prior college GPA and completed credit hours with your current semester figures using credit-weighted averaging. It also automatically updates your academic standing badge (such as Summa Cum Laude or Dean’s List). Everything operates in your browser memory with zero tracking.
