How to calculate your grade point average (GPA)?

Grade Point Average Calculation

GPA means Grade Point Average. Its the measure of students average grade.

Formula for GPA Calculation
GPA = Total Grades / Total Credit Hours
Total Grades = Σ( Grade * Credit Hours )

Step 1: Lets assume the Grade points to map.

Grade	Grade Points
A+	4.3
A	4
B+	3.3
B	3
C+	2.3
C	2
D+	1.3
D	1
F	0
N	0

Step 2: Calculate the Grade points of each subject. Let us consider the subjects like English, Maths and Science.

Step 3: To find the result, lets map the grade points of each subject in the given formula.
Total Grades = Σ (Grade * Credit Hours)
Total grades in English = 4 x 2 = 8
Total grades in Maths = 3.3 x 5 = 5 x 3.3 = 16.5
Total grades in Science = 4.3 x 7 = 30.1

Step 4: Find the total credit by adding the credit hours of all the subjects.
Total credits = 2 + 5 + 7 = 14

Step 5: Add the total grades of all subjects.
Total grades = 8 + 16.5 + 30.1 = 54.6

Step 6: Substitute the values in the below formula to find the average grade points.
GPA = Total Grades / Total Credit Hours
GPA = 54.6/14
GPA = 3.9
