CGPA Calculator

CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. It is the overall credit-weighted average of all your course or semester grade points earned throughout an academic program. Unlike a simple arithmetic average, a weighted CGPA accounts for course volume and intensity by giving greater statistical weight to courses with higher credit hours.

The official CGPA formula is: CGPA = Total Quality Points ÷ Total GPA Credit Hours. Quality points for each course or semester equal the grade point score multiplied by its credit hours. Add all quality points together and divide by the total number of attempted GPA credits.

To calculate CGPA from semester GPAs (SGPAs), multiply each semester GPA by the GPA credit hours earned in that semester to find the quality points. Sum all quality points together, then divide by the total included semester credits. Simply averaging semester GPAs without weighting is only valid if every semester has the exact same number of credits.

GPA (Grade Point Average) is the general umbrella term for academic performance. SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) measures your performance within a single academic semester or term. CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) combines all completed semesters into one overarching weighted average. In the United States, cumulative GPA is the standard term for CGPA.

You can calculate CGPA without credit hours only if all courses or semesters carry equal academic weight. In that case, enter 1 in each credit field to calculate a simple unweighted average. However, if course credits differ, entering actual GPA credits is essential for an accurate transcript-matching result.

This calculator uses numeric grade-point values (e.g., 4.0, 3.7, 3.3). If your transcript uses letter grades, convert each letter grade to its official grade-point equivalent on your institution's scale (such as A = 4.0, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0) before entering the score and credit hours.

Use the built-in Target CGPA Calculator below the results. Enter your current CGPA, completed credits, target CGPA, and upcoming credits. The tool uses the formula: Required GPA = [(Target CGPA × Total Credits) - (Current CGPA × Completed Credits)] ÷ Future Credits to determine the exact average required.

Yes. Select the 4.0 scale option to calculate your cumulative GPA for US colleges and universities. Enter your semester GPAs or numeric course grade points alongside their credit hours. The calculator accurately computes semester GPA and cumulative GPA using standard US credit-weighting practices.

Select 5.0 or 10.0 from the Grading Scale dropdown. Enter your grade points and credits directly from that system. The formula remains identical: total quality points divided by total credits. Selecting a scale sets the maximum allowed score without altering your entered values.

Yes, as long as your academic grades are expressed as grade points on a supported 4.0, 5.0, or 10.0 scale. This tool does not convert UK percentage marks or determine UK degree classifications (such as First-Class or 2:1 honours). For international university admissions, refer to your target institution's official credential evaluation guidelines.

No. This tool calculates credit-weighted averages strictly within your chosen scale. Because grade conversion formulas vary widely between universities, multiplying by a generic factor (such as multiplying by 9.5 or 25) is not universally accepted. Official conversions require your institution's approved scale conversion table.

Only include courses that your institution factors into your GPA. Failed courses with attempted credits should be included (usually with 0 grade points). Exclude audit, pass/fail, or withdrawn courses if they carry zero GPA quality points. For repeated courses, check whether your university replaces the old grade or averages both attempts.

Minor discrepancies typically arise from credit-weighting differences, institution-specific rounding rules, repeated course replacement policies, or transfer credits that carry hours but no grade points. This calculator rounds to two decimal places, while transcripts may use higher precision or unweighted formulas.
