GPA and CGPA Calculator
Calculate your weighted GPA on a 4.0 scale by adding courses, grades, and credit hours. Free to use, no signup required for occasional use.
What is the GPA / CGPA Calculator?
The GPA / CGPA Calculator computes your weighted grade point average on the standard 4.0 scale used by most universities internationally, based on the letter grades and credit hours of each course you've taken. A simple average of letter grades isn't accurate for most academic systems, because courses carry different credit hour weights — a 4-credit course affects your overall GPA more than a 1-credit course — so a proper GPA calculation multiplies each course's grade point value by its credit hours, sums those 'quality points' across every course, and divides by the total credit hours attempted. This tool supports dynamically adding or removing as many courses as you need, letting you build out a full semester or your entire academic transcript, selecting a standard letter grade (A+ through F) and entering the credit hours for each course. It's useful for students tracking their semester or cumulative GPA (CGPA) between official transcript updates, checking eligibility for scholarships or programs with a minimum GPA requirement, or estimating how a specific course grade will affect their overall average before final grades are posted.
How to use it
Click 'Add course' to add a row for each class you want to include, then select the letter grade you received (or expect to receive) from the dropdown and enter the credit hours for that course. Repeat this for every course in the semester or academic period you're calculating — you can add or remove rows freely as needed. As you enter courses, the tool automatically calculates your weighted GPA on the 4.0 scale using standard grade point values, along with your total credit hours and total quality points. To estimate a cumulative GPA (CGPA) across multiple semesters, include every course from every semester you want counted in a single list. If you're testing how a hypothetical grade would affect your GPA, simply add a course row with the grade you're considering and see how the overall number shifts.
Frequently asked questions
How is weighted GPA calculated?
Each course's grade point value is multiplied by its credit hours to get 'quality points'. Quality points are summed across all courses and divided by total credit hours attempted to get your weighted GPA.
What grade point scale does this calculator use?
It uses the standard 4.0 scale, where A/A+ equals 4.0, down through incremental steps to F, which equals 0.0 — the scale used by the majority of universities internationally.
Can I calculate a cumulative GPA across multiple semesters?
Yes, simply add every course from every semester you want included into the same list, and the calculator will compute a single weighted GPA across all of them.
My university uses a different grading scale — will this still work?
This calculator uses a standard 4.0-scale grade point mapping. If your institution uses a non-standard scale or grade point values, treat the result as a close estimate and confirm against your school's official grading policy.
