The 4.0 scale
Each letter grade maps to a quality-point value: A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0. Plus and minus grades shift by 0.3 (so B+ = 3.3, B- = 2.7). Weighted GPA multiplies each course's grade points by its credit hours, sums those, and divides by total credits.
"A+ = 4.0" or "4.3"?
Most US colleges cap GPAs at 4.0, treating A+ and A identically. A few institutions (Stanford, Cornell, Princeton historically) use 4.3 for an A+, allowing GPAs above 4.0. Toggle the checkbox if your school does this.
Quality points vs unweighted GPA
"Unweighted" GPA treats every course the same. "Weighted" GPA accounts for credit hours — a 4-credit course counts more than a 1-credit lab. This calculator computes the weighted version, which is what transcripts report.
