GPA Calculator
Project cumulative GPA after one new term using current and new-term GPA and credits on the same institutional scale.
Project one new academic term
All fields start empty and accept complete ASCII decimals only. GPA values are not converted between institutional scales.
Projected GPA result
Enter all four values and calculate. No result or copy payload exists yet.
Formula and worked example
Total credits = current completed credits + new-term credits. Projected GPA = ((current GPA x current credits) + (new-term GPA x new-term credits)) / total credits.
For 3.2 over 60 credits plus a 3.8 term over 15 credits: existing points are 192, new points are 57, combined points are 249, and 249 / 75 = 3.32 projected GPA.
Full numeric precision is retained until the final display, which uses at most six decimals.
Assumptions and limitations
Every GPA input must use the same institutional scale. The accepted range from 0 through 10 is a numeric ceiling, not a claim that one scale is universal.
This arithmetic does not model course-level exclusions, repeated-course policies, pass/fail treatment, transfer rules, weighting, truncation, or institution-specific transcript methods. It is not an official transcript result.
Use the CGPA Calculator to aggregate several completed terms, or the Grade Calculator for one remaining assessment.

Accuracy and limitations
Calzivo tools are built for practical estimates, conversions, and checks. Some tools use standard formulas or simplified assumptions, and results can be affected by input accuracy, rounding, units, local rules, or changing official requirements.
Education results depend on the scale and grading rules you enter. Schools and institutions may use different official policies, so confirm important results with your syllabus or records office.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about GPA Calculator and how to read the result.
Does this calculate a term GPA from course grades?
No. It projects a cumulative GPA from an already calculated current GPA and one entered new-term GPA.
Can I mix a 4.0 GPA with a 10.0 GPA?
No. Every GPA in one calculation must use the same institutional scale.
Why must GPA also be zero when current credits are zero?
The pair 0 GPA and 0 credits explicitly represents no prior completed credits and avoids accepting an arbitrary GPA multiplied by zero.
Is the projected GPA official?
No. Institutions can apply course exclusions, repeat rules, weighting, truncation, or other transcript policies.
