The calculator uses the Future GPA formula:

Where:

• Current Grade Points — Total grade points earned so far
• Current Credits — Total credits completed so far
• New Grade Points — Expected grade points from new courses
• New Credits — Credits from new courses

Explanation: The equation calculates a weighted average of your current and new academic performance.
