By the FastFreeTools Editorial Team · Last reviewed: May 2026 · See our Editorial Policy for methodology, sourcing, and disclaimers.

Calculate your GPA using the standard 4.0 scale. Enter courses, grades, and credit hours for weighted GPA. Methodology: GPA uses the standard United States 4.0 scale (A/A+ = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, …, F = 0.0) and computes a credit-weighted average — GPA = Σ(grade × credits) ÷ Σ(credits). Some institutions use 4.3 or 5.0 scales; check your school's official policy. See our editorial policy for sourcing details.
