Cumulative GPA Calculator
Find your cumulative GPA across every term. Add your prior GPA and credits, then this term’s courses, for an exact combined GPA on the 4.0 scale. Free, no account.

It runs separately so your grades stay away from advertising. If it doesn’t appear, open it directly.

Cumulative GPA = all quality points ÷ all credit hours, across every term. A shortcut: prior quality points = prior GPA × prior credits, so you only need your prior GPA and prior credit total, not every old course.
Worked example
Prior record: 3.20 GPA over 30 credits = 96 quality points. This term: 3.60 over 15 credits = 54 quality points. Combined: 150 quality points ÷ 45 credits = 3.33.
How to use the cumulative gpa calculator
Turn on “Include my prior GPA”
Enter your prior cumulative GPA and your prior total credit hours — both are on your transcript. The calculator turns them into quality points for you.
Add this term’s courses
Enter each new course’s credits and grade as usual.
Choose your scale
Match your school: +/- grades on or off, weighted on or off. Use the same basis your prior GPA was recorded on.
Read your cumulative GPA
The result combines old and new into one GPA, with the total credits behind it.
Why the prior-GPA shortcut works
Your cumulative GPA already summarises every past course: prior GPA × prior credits gives back the exact prior quality points. So you don’t need to re-enter years of courses — the two numbers carry all the information the formula needs.
Keep the basis consistent
If your transcript GPA is unweighted, combine it with unweighted term grades. Mixing a weighted prior GPA with unweighted new courses (or the reverse) gives a number that doesn’t mean much.
Retakes and grade replacement
Some schools replace the original grade when you retake a course; others average both attempts. This calculator adds whatever you enter — follow your school’s repeat policy when deciding which grades to include.
