How GPA is calculated
Each letter grade has a point value. Multiply it by the course credits, add the results and divide by total credits: GPA = sum of (points × credits) ÷ sum of credits.
On the 4.0 scale, this tool uses A 4.0, A- 3.7, B+ 3.3, B 3.0, B- 2.7, C+ 2.3, C 2.0, C- 1.7, D+ 1.3, D 1.0 and F 0.
Here is a worked example with the default rows. Algorithms: A with 4 credits gives 16. Databases: B+ with 3 credits gives 9.9. Statistics: A- with 3 credits gives 11.1. Writing: B with 2 credits gives 6. That is 43 credit points over 12 credits, and 43 ÷ 12 = 3.58.
Moving between a 4.0 and a 10-point scale
The result also shows a simple ratio on the other scale. It multiplies a 4.0 GPA by 2.5, or a 10-point GPA by 0.4. So 3.58 on the 4.0 scale reads as about 8.96 on the 10-point scale.
This ratio is a rough guide only. It is not an official conversion. Foreign universities and credential evaluators such as WES use their own methods, and grade tables vary by institution. Check what your target university asks for.
