What is the GPA Calculator & How does it work
The SimplyUtil GPA Calculator is a versatile, privacy-friendly tool designed for students to track their academic performance. It supports multiple international grading scales, including the popular US Letter A-F system (4.0 GPA), the German 1-6 scale, the Spanish 1-10 scale, and the French/Arabic 0-20 scale. Simply select your system from the dropdown menu, add your courses, grades, and credits, and get your GPA calculated instantly.
How does the calculation work? The calculator uses a weighted average algorithm. It multiplies the numerical value of each grade by the credits of the course, sums these weighted grades, and divides the total by the sum of all course credits. The result is calculated and updated in real-time, 100% in your browser.
The calculation takes place locally on your device, ensuring total privacy. Your grades are never uploaded to any server.
