CGPA Calculator is designed for the exact search intent behind “cgpa calculator”. Calculate a cumulative grade point average across semesters or courses using the grade-point and credit-weighting method supported by the tool. Calculate a cumulative grade point average across semesters or courses using the grade-point and credit-weighting method supported by the tool. Credit-weighted CGPA formula When semesters or courses have different credit loads, use CGPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ credits .

Important limitations: There is no universal CGPA-to-percentage conversion. Institutional grading scales and repeat-course rules differ.

How to use this tool
Credit-weighted CGPA formula
When semesters or courses have different credit loads, use CGPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ credits. If entering semester GPAs, weight each semester GPA by the credits represented by that semester.
CGPA scales vary
CGPA can refer to 4.0, 5.0, 10.0 or institution-specific systems. Do not convert between scales with a universal formula unless the institution publishes one.
Official rules come first
Repeated courses, exclusions, transfer credits and rounding can change the official cumulative result.
Examples
Weighted semester example
A 3.5 GPA over 15 credits and a 3.8 GPA over 18 credits gives (3.5×15 + 3.8×18) ÷ 33 ≈ 3.66.
Common use cases
- Estimate cumulative academic standing
- Combine semesters with different credit loads
- Check transcript arithmetic
- Model future CGPA scenarios
Frequently asked questions
What is CGPA?

How do I calculate CGPA with different semester credits?
Weight each semester GPA by its represented credits, add the weighted values, and divide by total credits.
Is CGPA always on a 4.0 scale?
No. Institutions use different scales, including 4.0, 5.0, 10.0 and custom systems.
Can I convert CGPA to percentage with one formula?
Not reliably across all institutions; use the conversion policy published by the relevant school or organization.
Why can my transcript CGPA differ?
Repeat policies, excluded courses, transfer credits, grade mappings and rounding can change the official result.
