What is a good GPA on a 4.0 scale?

3.5–4.0 is excellent, 3.0–3.49 is good, 2.5–2.99 is average. Many graduate programs require a minimum 3.0. The threshold depends on your institution and goals.

What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?

Unweighted GPA treats all courses equally on a 4.0 scale. Weighted GPA awards bonus points (typically +0.5 or +1.0) for advanced/honours courses, so it can exceed 4.0.

How is GPA calculated?

GPA = sum of (grade points × credit hours per course) ÷ total credit hours. An A (4.0) in a 3-credit course contributes 12 quality points.

Can the GPA calculator use custom grading scales?

Yes. Enter letter grades (A, B+, etc.) or percentage grades, then map them to your institution's grade-point values for a fully accurate calculation.
