How to Use This CGPA Calculator

CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the average of your semester GPAs weighted by credit hours: each semester contributes its GPA times its credit hours, and the total is divided by the total credit hours across all semesters. A semester with more credits counts more. List your semesters one per line as GPA and credit hours, for example '3.5, 18'. Most universities use a 4.0 scale; if yours differs, the number still works as long as every semester uses the same scale.

Formula Used

CGPA = total quality points ÷ total credit hours, where each semester contributes GPA × its credit hours.

Worked Example

Example: Semesters: GPA 3.5, 18 credits · GPA 3.8, 17 credits · GPA 3.2, 18 credits

  1. Quality points: 3.5 × 18 = 63.00; 3.8 × 17 = 64.60; 3.2 × 18 = 57.60.
  2. Total quality points = 185.20; total credit hours = 53.
  3. CGPA = 185.20 ÷ 53 = 3.49.

CGPA: 3.49

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between GPA and CGPA?

GPA is one semester's average; CGPA is the average across all your semesters, weighted by credit hours. A semester with more credits counts more toward the CGPA.

What scale is used?

The usual 4.0 scale, where A is 4.0. If your university uses a different scale, the maths still works as long as every semester you enter uses the same scale.

How do I convert a percentage to CGPA?

There is no single official formula — universities convert differently. Some divide the percentage by 25 to get a rough 4.0 figure, others use their own tables. Check your university's own conversion before relying on one.
