Introduction

The Cumulative GPA Calculator estimates your updated overall GPA after adding a new semester or term, and can estimate the future GPA needed for a target.

Cumulative GPA equals total quality points divided by total credits. Quality points are GPA multiplied by credits.

Formula and method guide

Current quality points

Current quality points = current GPA x completed credits

This converts the current GPA back into weighted quality points.

Semester quality points

Semester quality points = semester GPA x semester credits

This adds the new term's weighted contribution.

New cumulative GPA

New GPA = total quality points / total credits

This estimates the updated cumulative GPA.

Variables

Current GPA

Your cumulative GPA before the new term.

Completed credits

Credits already included in your current GPA.

Semester GPA

GPA earned in the new semester or term.

Semester credits

Credits attempted in the new semester or term.

Target GPA

Optional future cumulative GPA goal.
