How the Calculation Works

The student card report card calculator uses the following formula to calculate your GPA:

GPA = (Sum of (Grade Points × Credit Hours)) / (Sum of Credit Hours)

Where:

  • Grade Points = The numeric value of your letter grade
  • Credit Hours = The number of credit hours for each subject

The calculator converts your letter grades to grade points using standard high school grading scales. You can choose between different grading systems if your school uses a non-standard scale.

Note: The calculator assumes a standard 4.0 GPA scale by default. Adjust the grading scale if your school uses a different system.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you have the following grades for your subjects:

Subject Grade Credit Hours
Mathematics A 4
Science B 3
English A- 3
History B+ 3

Using the standard 4.0 GPA scale:

  • A = 4.0 grade points
  • B = 3.0 grade points
  • A- = 3.7 grade points
  • B+ = 3.3 grade points

The calculation would be:

GPA = [(4.0 × 4) + (3.0 × 3) + (3.7 × 3) + (3.3 × 3)] / (4 + 3 + 3 + 3)

GPA = [16 + 9 + 11.1 + 9.9] / 13

GPA = 45.0 / 13 ≈ 3.46

Your calculated GPA would be approximately 3.46 on a 4.0 scale.
