[ CALCULATION ]
Calculus — A- = 3.70 × 3 credits11.10
Literature — B+ = 3.30 × 3 credits9.90
Chemistry — B = 3.00 × 4 credits12.00
Physical Education — P — not counted towards the GPA2
Quality points — grade points × credits, added up33.00
Credits counted — 12 taken, 2 pass/fail10
GPA — 33.00 ÷ 103.30
Physical Education left out of the average. Pass/fail credits count towards a degree but not towards a GPA — they are excluded, not scored as zero.
[ WHAT THIS IS ]

Your grade point average is the grade points you earned, weighted by credit hours, divided by the credits that counted. A heavy course moves it more than a light one — an A in a one-credit seminar does not offset a C in a five-credit lab.

Pass/fail courses are excluded from the average rather than scored as zero. Their credits still count towards your degree, but neither the credits nor any points enter the division, and the working below names any course that was left out.

[ QUESTIONS ]

Does a pass/fail course drag my GPA down?

No, and this is the mistake worth guarding against. A P is excluded from the average entirely — its credits count towards your degree but neither the credits nor the points enter the division. It is not a zero. A calculator that scores a P as 0.0 will turn a clean transcript into a disaster on screen.

What is the difference between GPA and GWA?

They run in opposite directions. GPA is the four-point scale where higher is better and 4.0 is the top. GWA is the Philippine 1.00–5.00 scale where lower is better and 1.00 is the top. They are separate tools here on purpose — sharing an implementation would let a top student be reported as failing.

Can it convert my 1.00–5.00 grades to a 4.0 GPA?

No, deliberately. There is no single conversion: universities publish different transmutation tables, and the one your school uses is the only one that counts. Inventing a mapping here would produce a confident number no registrar would recognise. If you need a conversion for an application abroad, ask your registrar for their official table.

What are quality points?

Grade points multiplied by credit hours, added up across your courses. An A worth 4.0 in a 3-credit course is 12 quality points. Your GPA is the quality points divided by the credits that counted, which is why a bad grade in a heavy course hurts more than one in a light course.

My scale is not listed.

Choose "Enter grade points" and type the points directly, from 0 to 4. Your registrar or student handbook publishes what each letter is worth on your scale.

A in 3, P in 3 — excluded 4.00

The same transcript, two full grade points apart. An F is a zero and belongs in the average; a P is not a grade at all.

Grading scales differ between schools. Check what each letter is worth on your own scale before relying on the figure. Nothing you type here is sent to our servers — the calculation runs entirely in your browser.
