GPA Calculator With Current GPA
Already have a cumulative GPA? Enter it with your completed credits, then this semester's GPA and credits. The calculator shows your new cumulative GPA and the GPA you'd need this semester to hit a goal.
- New cumulative GPA
- 3.3
- Total credits
- 75
- Total quality points
- 247.5
- GPA needed this semester to reach 3.5
- 4.7 (above 4.0 — needs more credits)
Steps
- (3.2 × 60 + 3.7 × 15) ÷ (60 + 15) = 3.3
Worked example
Example: 3.2 GPA over 60 credits, plus a 3.7 semester of 15 credits
- Current quality points: 3.2 × 60 = 192
- New quality points: 3.7 × 15 = 55.5
- (192 + 55.5) ÷ 75 = 3.30
New cumulative GPA: 3.30.
Formula
New GPA = (GPA₁ × Credits₁ + GPA₂ × Credits₂) ÷ (Credits₁ + Credits₂)
Needed GPA = (Target × Total credits − GPA₁ × Credits₁) ÷ Credits₂
The more credits you've completed, the harder it is to move your cumulative GPA.
Frequently asked questions
What is cumulative GPA?
Your GPA across all semesters combined, weighted by credits.
How can I raise my GPA fast?
Take more credits with high grades; retaking failed classes also helps where grade replacement is allowed.
Is cumulative GPA weighted?
It can be either — your school decides. Use the same type for both inputs.
