How cumulative gpa calculator works
A cumulative GPA is a weighted average where the weights are credit hours. Each semester contributes its GPA times its credits; divide that sum by the total credits and you have the transcript number. A 4.0 in a 15-credit semester adds 60 quality points; a 4.0 in a 5-credit term adds only 20 — the heavy semester moves your cumulative three times as much.
Enter one semester per line as “GPA credits” — for example “3.4 15”. The calculator weights, sums, and divides for you, and shows each semester’s contribution as quality points so you can see which terms pulled the average down or propped it up.
Values on a 0–5 scale are accepted, so weighted high-school GPAs (where AP courses can top 4.0) work too — just use the same scale for every line. This tool combines finished terms; for grade-by-grade math inside a single term, the GPA Calculator handles individual courses with letter grades.
