CGPA Calculator

How it's calculated

CGPA (Cumulative GPA) aggregates every semester GPA you've earned into one overall figure, weighted by each semester's credit hours — not a plain average of your semester GPAs: CGPA = (Σ semester GPA × semester credit hours) ÷ Σ credit hours A semester with more credit hours affects your CGPA more than a lighter semester, even if both had the same GPA.

Worked example

You completed three semesters: - Semester 1: GPA 3.5, 15 credit hours - Semester 2: GPA 3.2, 18 credit hours - Semester 3: GPA 3.8, 16 credit hours Quality points: (3.5 × 15) + (3.2 × 18) + (3.8 × 16) = 52.5 + 57.6 + 60.8 = 170.9 Total credit hours: 15 + 18 + 16 = 49 CGPA = 170.9 ÷ 49 = 3.49

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between GPA and CGPA?

GPA covers one semester. CGPA is the credit-weighted average of every semester GPA you've completed so far — use the GPA Calculator first for each semester, then combine them here.

Do I need to include every semester?

Include every semester your institution counts toward your official cumulative GPA — check your transcript or academic policy if you're unsure whether a semester (e.g. a repeated or withdrawn one) counts.

Can I use this if my institution reports CGPA on a different scale?

This calculator assumes a 0-4.0 scale. If your institution uses a different scale (e.g. 0-5.0 or percentage-based), convert your semester GPAs to the 0-4.0 equivalent first.
