How the target GPA calculator works
This target GPA calculator finds the GPA you need on remaining credits to hit a cumulative goal. It uses current GPA × credits earned, then solves for the remaining term. It does not calculate a single course grade or a final exam score.
How to use the calculator
- Enter your current cumulative GPA.
- Enter credits already earned.
- Enter the GPA you want.
- Enter remaining credits, then calculate.
Worked example
Current GPA 3.40, 60 credits earned, target 3.50, and 30 credits left: needed GPA = (3.50 × 90 − 3.40 × 60) ÷ 30 = 3.70.
Understanding your result
If the needed GPA is above 4.0, the target is not possible on a 4.0 scale with those remaining credits. Use the GPA calculator to add this term after grades post.
