Turn your grades and credit hours into a real GPA in seconds. The Gizmo 421 GPA Calculator works the way your transcript does — quality points divided by credit hours — so B+ in a 4-credit course moves the needle more than an A in a 1-credit gym class. It also answers the important question: what do I need next semester to hit my goal?

Target: what GPA do I need next term?
The scale is the standard 4.0 one you already know: A through F with the half-step plus/minus values most US colleges use. The target calculator solves the algebra honestly — if your goal is mathematically out of reach this term, it tells you the best GPA you could possibly land instead of pretending. Everything computes locally in your browser; nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
How is GPA calculated? Quality points (grade value × credits) divided by total credits — the calculator does the weighted math automatically. Does it use my college’s scale? It uses the most common 4.0 scale with plus/minus steps; if your school uses something exotic, treat results as an estimate. Can it tell me what I need next semester? Yes — the target section computes the exact term GPA required for your goal, or the best you can possibly reach if the goal is out of reach. Is my data private? Completely — this runs entirely in your browser.
