🧠 How It Works & the Formula
This calculator projects your GPA using two core formulas based on your current and future grades.
The tool first converts your expected letter grades into a standard 4.0 point scale (A=4.0, A–=3.7, B+=3.3, B=3.0, etc.). It then applies a weighted average calculation.
Semester GPA Formula:
Semester GPA = Σ(credit_i × grade_point_i) / Σcredit_i
Projected Cumulative GPA Formula:
Projected Cum GPA = (Current QP + Σ(future credit_j × expected grade_point_j)) / (Current Credits + Σfuture credits)
Note: Quality Points (QP) are calculated as: GPA × Credits.
💡 FAQs
Yes—enter expected grades for your upcoming courses to estimate your semester GPA and updated cumulative GPA, helping you plan before results are available.
No—only letter-graded courses A–F are included. P, W, Audit, Incomplete, and Withdrawn entries are excluded.
For simplicity, this calculator assumes the new grade will replace a previous one for the course's credit and quality point calculation, reflecting a common academic policy.
Very accurate—once your final grades match your expectations, your official GPA should be almost identical to the projection (assuming grade scales align). Variance arises only if actual grades differ.
For example, carrying a 3.21 GPA over 60 credits, adding 14 credits with a 3.45 semester average would boost cumulative GPA to about 3.28—showing how even small improvements have a measurable impact.
