Unweighted GPA calculator
Some high schools quote an unweighted 4.0 where each course counts once. Enter letters; we average the grade points. If your school still uses credits for “unweighted,” prefer the cumulative tool.
Equal weight per course (credits ignored for the mean).

When to use — and when not to
When to use
HS unweighted 4.0 estimate; quick mean of letters; comparing to a weighted school report you do not model here.
When not to
College credit-hour GPA — cumulative GPA calculator. Honors bumps — out of scope.
Assumptions
Equal weight per course. Standard 4.0 ± letter map.
How it works
GPA = Σ(grade_points) / n
- Add each course letter.
- Credits can stay 1 if everything is equal.
- Read the mean GPA.
Examples
A, A, B, B
3.5
A−, B+, B
≈ 3.33
Gotchas
- Calling something “unweighted” while still using credits confuses people — match your handbook.
- Plus/minus maps differ.
- Not for admissions chance-me narratives.
Compare
Credit-weighted? Cumulative GPA. One semester with credits? Semester GPA.
