Overall GPA Calculator

Combined GPA across two semesters, weighted by credits.

Worth Knowing

Combining GPAs across semesters isn't a matter of averaging the two GPA numbers — you have to weight each by its total credits, because a semester with more credits contributes more to the cumulative figure. Averaging the GPAs directly is a common error that misstates your standing. As your credit total grows, cumulative GPA also becomes progressively harder to move, which is why a rough patch early on is easier to recover from than one near graduation.

How to Use

  1. Enter Semester 1 GPA into the first field of the Overall GPA Calculator.
  2. Fill in the rest: Semester 1 credits, Semester 2 GPA, Semester 2 credits.
  3. Your result appears instantly as you type — there's no submit button or page reload.
