Useful first
Every page should answer a real student question, not exist only because a keyword exists.
About KnowMyGPA
Independent, free GPA calculators built from official grading sources, designed to help students understand their numbers without giving up privacy.
Independent project
Browser-based tools
Source-led research
KnowMyGPA exists for one simple reason: students should not need a spreadsheet, a forum thread, and three tabs of university policy just to understand a GPA. We build fast calculators and plain-English guides that turn grading rules into something you can actually use: your GPA, what it means, and what you can do next.
2
School-specific
University pages are built around the grading scale, terminology, and rules students at that school actually face.
3
Private by design
Calculations run in your browser. Your course names, grades, and credits are not uploaded to our servers.
4
Open to corrections
If a university changes a rule or a reader spots an issue, we review it against an official source and update the page.
Who runs it
Built and maintained in-house
Transparency matters for students, readers, and site reviewers. This is who is behind the calculators and how the site is maintained.
Shaheryar - founder of KnowMyGPA KnowMyGPA is an independent education project founded and maintained by Shaheryar. The first version was built after seeing how often students had to translate confusing grading rules into a number by hand. Today the goal is bigger: make a trustworthy GPA tool library for high school, college, university, professional-school, and international grading systems.
KnowMyGPA is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to any university, college, exam board, application service, or government body unless a page explicitly says otherwise. Official transcripts, catalogs, and student portals remain the final authority.
What we publish
What KnowMyGPA offers
The site is organized around practical tools first, then guides that explain the confusing parts students keep searching for.
Core GPA tools
Standard GPA, weighted GPA, cumulative GPA, semester GPA, final grade, target GPA, and grade calculators for everyday planning.
University calculators
School-specific pages for institutions where the grading scale, GPA cutoff, honors policy, or transcript rules need more context.
Converters and guides
Clear explanations for percentage-to-GPA, 4.0 and 5.0 scale conversion, GPA-to-letter questions, and common admissions concerns.
We do not want KnowMyGPA to become a pile of thin pages. When a topic deserves its own page, it should give a student something useful: a calculator, a worked example, an honest interpretation, internal links to the right next tool, and enough context to avoid a wrong result.
Accuracy
How we protect calculator quality
A GPA calculator is only valuable if the number is defensible. Our methodology is built around official sources and clear limits.
What we do
- Research grading scales from registrar pages, catalogs, handbooks, and official policy documents.
- Build each school-specific scale separately instead of forcing every system into one generic template.
- Link to official sources where a page depends on a specific grading rule or academic policy.
- Review correction requests and update pages when published policies change.
What we cannot replace
- Your official transcript, degree audit, student portal, registrar, academic advisor, or admissions office.
- Program-specific exceptions that are not published or are handled manually by a department.
- Private student records, transfer decisions, repeated-course approvals, or final institutional rounding.
- Professional academic, legal, admissions, or financial advice.

Our editorial standards
Every calculator and article should pass a simple test: would this help a real student make a better decision right now? That is why our strongest pages include examples, plain-language explanations, official-source notes, and next-step links instead of only repeating a keyword. We try to write like a helpful person sitting next to you, not like a policy PDF.
We also avoid pretending a result is more official than it is. A calculator can estimate, explain, and plan. It cannot see the hidden rules inside a registrar system. When a school has special handling for repeats, transfer credits, pass/fail courses, honors thresholds, professional-school recalculation, or application-service categories, we explain the rule and tell readers when to verify with the official office.
Privacy, advertising, and independence
KnowMyGPA is a static website. The calculators run client-side in your browser, which means the grades you enter are not submitted to a backend database. We use basic analytics and may display advertising to keep the tools free, but advertising does not decide what a calculator says, which schools we cover, or how we explain a grading rule.
To support a transparent user experience, the site includes clear navigation, a Privacy Policy, Terms, a DMCA page, a Contact page, and this About page. We do not publish adult, hateful, deceptive, illegal, or dishonest content, and we do not encourage students to misrepresent grades or create false records. The purpose of the site is planning and education.
How to report a correction
If you see something that looks wrong, please send the page URL, the issue, and the official source that shows the current rule. A correction is easiest to verify when it points to a registrar page, catalog, grading regulation, or official university document. We review reports manually and update the affected page when the evidence is clear.
