The GPA calculator — how it works
The Students Hub GPA calculator is a free tool for computing semester and cumulative GPA on either the 4.0 or 100-point scale, with support for credit hours, repeated courses, and GPA targets. It works without signing up, and saves to your account when you sign in.
Steps to calculate your GPA
- 1
Add a semester
Create a semester for each term you have studied (for example: Fall 2026). You can add as many as you need — each gets its own GPA and feeds into the cumulative one.
- 2
Pick the scale your university uses
Choose the 4.0 or the 100-point scale before entering marks: on the 100-point scale you type percentages, on the 4.0 scale you type grade points. You can switch later and every course is recalculated on the scale you selected.
- 3
Enter your courses and marks
For every course, enter its code, credit hours, and the mark you received. Flag repeated courses, since universities count repeats differently.
- 4
Track your GPA and set a target
Your semester and cumulative GPA update as you type. Set a target GPA to see what the coming semesters require — signing in saves your data and unlocks the analytics dashboard and progress tracking.
The formula, briefly
Cumulative GPA is a weighted average: multiply each course’s grade points by its credit hours, add the results, then divide by the total credit hours. That is why a 3-credit course matters far more than a 1-credit one — and why the average becomes harder to move as your completed credits grow.
GPA out of 4.0 or out of 100: which scale to pick
Arab universities split between three systems: grade points out of 4 and percentages out of 100 — the common pair in Palestine, Jordan, and Egypt — and points out of 5, common in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. The formula is the same in every case, a credit-weighted average; what differs is the ladder that turns a mark into points. That is why converting from 100 to 4.0 happens course by course, as the general ladder in the table below shows. The calculator supports the 4.0 and 100-point scales and switches between them, and includes Birzeit University’s 2025/2026 ladder alongside the general one. If your university grades out of 5, enter your percentage marks, read the result out of 100, and convert it with your university’s official table, because conversion between scales is not linear.
| Mark out of 100 | Letter | Points out of 4 |
|---|---|---|
| 95–100 | A+ | 4.0 |
| 90–94 | A | 4.0 |
| 85–89 | A- | 3.7 |
| 80–84 | B+ | 3.3 |
| 75–79 | B | 3.0 |
| 70–74 | B- | 2.7 |
| 65–69 | C+ | 2.3 |
| 60–64 | C | 2.0 |
| 55–59 | C- | 1.7 |
| 50–54 | D+ | 1.3 |
| 45–49 | D | 1.0 |
| 40–44 | D- | 0.7 |
| 0–39 | F | 0.0 |
The calculator works for any credit-hour university — from Birzeit, An-Najah, Kadoorie, Al-Quds Open, and the Arab American University in Palestine to the University of Jordan, Yarmouk, Al-Balqa Applied, the Hashemite University, Al al-Bayt, Mutah, and JUST in Jordan — and for diploma and technical-college students, because the same formula applies to every credit-hour program. Pick the scale that appears on your transcript and match the grade cut-offs to your university’s regulations.
Frequently asked questions about GPA
How is GPA calculated?
GPA = the sum of (each course’s grade points × its credit hours) ÷ the total credit hours. A 3-credit course therefore affects your GPA three times as much as a 1-credit course. In the calculator you enter each course’s mark and credits, and the semester and cumulative GPA update automatically.
What is the difference between semester GPA and cumulative GPA?
Semester GPA covers the courses of a single term, while cumulative GPA aggregates every semester you have completed. The calculator shows both: a GPA per semester and one overall cumulative GPA.
Does the calculator support both the 4.0 and 100-point scales?
Yes. You can switch between the 4.0 scale and the 100-point (percentage) scale in the calculator settings, and all of your courses are recalculated on the scale you choose — useful because some universities grade out of 4.0 and others out of 100.
How are marks converted into letter grades and points?
Numeric marks map to a letter grade and grade points on a standard scale: 95 and above = A+ (4.0), 90–94 = A (4.0), and points step down as the mark decreases. The calculator shows the letter grade and points next to each course so you can see its effect on your GPA.
How do I handle a repeated course?
Enable the “repeated course” option when adding it. Universities treat repeats differently (highest attempt, most recent attempt, or an average), so check your university’s policy and enter the mark it actually counts to match your official transcript.
Do I need an account to use the GPA calculator?
No. The calculator works without signing up and keeps your data in your browser. If you do sign in, your semesters and courses are saved to your account and available on any device, and you unlock the analytics dashboard, GPA targets, and progress tracking.
What GPA do I need to graduate with honors?
Honors thresholds differ by university, but commonly excellence starts around 3.5/4.0 (roughly 85%) and very good around 3.0 (roughly 80%). Use the targets feature to set the GPA you are aiming for and see what the coming semesters require.
How can I raise my cumulative GPA?
Because cumulative GPA is a credit-weighted average, a single semester moves it less as your completed credits grow. Practically: prioritize high-credit courses, retake low-point courses if your university allows it, and avoid stacking several demanding courses in one term. The analytics dashboard highlights the courses dragging your average down the most.
Can I work out the mark I need to reach a target GPA?
Yes. After entering your current courses, set a target GPA in the goals section to see how realistic it is and how much progress is required. You can also add current-semester courses with hypothetical marks to test scenarios before exams.
How do I calculate my GPA out of 4.0?
Convert each course mark to grade points on your university’s ladder (on the general ladder: 90 and above = 4.0, 85–89 = 3.7, 80–84 = 3.3, and so on down), multiply each course’s points by its credit hours, and divide the total by the total credit hours. In the calculator, enter your percentage marks as they are on the 100-point scale, then switch to the 4.0 scale — the letter grade and points appear next to every course, with the final GPA out of 4.
How do I calculate my GPA out of 100?
A GPA out of 100 is the credit-weighted average of the percentage marks themselves: multiply each course mark by its credit hours, add the results, and divide by the total credit hours. Pick the 100-point scale in the calculator and the result shows as a percentage with no conversion to points — the system used by universities that issue percentage transcripts.
How do I convert a GPA out of 100 to the 4.0 scale?
There is no single official linear formula. The accurate way is to convert each course mark to points on your university’s ladder and take the credit-weighted average — which the calculator does when you enter percentage marks on the 100-point scale, then switch to 4.0. Simple division (average × 4 ÷ 100) is only an approximation that shortchanges high marks and can inflate low ones: 85 gives 3.4 by division but 3.7 on the general ladder. If you only have your cumulative average out of 100, the official figure comes from your university’s conversion table.
My university uses a 5.0 scale — can I still use the calculator?
The calculator supports the 4.0 and 100-point scales only. If your university grades out of 5.0 (common in Saudi and Gulf universities), enter your percentage marks, read the GPA out of 100, and convert it with your university’s official conversion table. Do not simply divide the result, because grade cut-offs differ between scales and the conversion is not linear.
Does the calculator work for diploma students and high-school averages?
For diploma and technical-college students, yes — the same formula applies to any credit-hour program. A high-school (Tawjihi) average is different: it is a simple or weighted average of subject marks under your ministry’s rules, not a credit-weighted GPA. You can approximate it by entering every subject with one credit hour on the 100-point scale, but the official ministry results sheet remains the reference. Weighted admission scores that combine high-school marks with aptitude and achievement tests are computed by each university with its own weights.
Is GPA calculated differently at Birzeit, An-Najah, the Arab American University, Palestine Technical University – Kadoorie, the University of Jordan, or Yarmouk?
The core formula is the same at all of them, the Arab American University and Kadoorie included: a credit-weighted average. Three things differ, though: the scale (out of 4 or out of 100), the grade cut-offs (the mark where A or B+ begins), and the repeated-course policy. The calculator lets you switch between the two scales, includes Birzeit University’s 2025/2026 grading ladder alongside the general one, and leaves flagging repeated courses to you, exactly as your university counts them.
Is the calculator free?
Yes — the Students Hub GPA calculator is completely free, with no limit on the number of semesters or courses.
