Raise GPA Calculator

Find the grade point average you need in your remaining credits to raise your cumulative GPA to a target, and whether it is reachable.

About Raise GPA Calculator

A cumulative GPA is total grade points divided by total credits. To reach a target, the grade points you still need are the target times all credits, minus the points already earned. Dividing that by the credits you have left gives the average you must hold: required GPA = (target × (completed + remaining) − current × completed) ÷ remaining. If the result is above the top of the scale, the target cannot be reached in those credits.

  2. The result appears below and updates as you type.
  3. Copy the result with the copy button, or download it as a file where that is offered.

Questions about Raise GPA Calculator

Why is it harder to raise a GPA late in a degree?

Each new grade is averaged with every credit already earned. With 90 credits behind you, 15 new credits make up only a seventh of the total, so even perfect grades move the average a little.
