About this calculator
GPA is credit-weighted average of grade points (4.0 = A, 3.0 = B, etc.). New cumulative = (old cum × old credits + new GPA × new credits) / total. As credit total grows, individual semester impact shrinks — a 4.0 semester at 60 credits in barely moves a 3.4 cum, while at 15 credits in same semester moves it noticeably more (small base).
Frequently asked
US 4.0 standard: A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0. Some schools use +/− adjustments (B+ = 3.3).
