GPA Calculator

Your credit-weighted GPA on the US 4.0 scale or the Indian 10-point CGPA scale, with a cumulative total.

How it works

Each grade is converted to points, multiplied by the course's credits, and the total is divided by the total credits. Heavier courses count for more. A cumulative GPA adds your earlier grade points (earlier GPA × earlier credits) before dividing by all the credits together.

GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ credits

Worked example

Four courses: an A (4 credits), a B+ (3), an A− (4) and a B (3), on the US scale.

  1. 1A: 4.0 × 4 = 16.0; B+: 3.3 × 3 = 9.9
  2. 2A−: 3.7 × 4 = 14.8; B: 3.0 × 3 = 9.0
  3. 3Grade points: 49.7 over 14 credits
  4. 449.7 ÷ 14 = 3.55

A GPA of 3.55, closest to an A− average.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert CGPA to a percentage?

CBSE and many Indian universities multiply CGPA by 9.5, so an 8.2 CGPA is 77.9%. Others, including several technical universities, use their own formulas such as (CGPA − 0.5) × 10. Your mark sheet or university regulations state which one applies.

What is the difference between SGPA and CGPA?

SGPA is the grade point average for one semester. CGPA is the average across all semesters so far, weighted by credits. Enter one semester's courses for SGPA, or add your earlier CGPA and credits for the cumulative figure.

Is a weighted GPA the same as this?

Not quite. Here 'weighted' means by credits. US high schools also use 'weighted GPA' to mean extra points for honours and AP classes, which can push it above 4.0. For that, type the boosted grade points, such as 5.0 for an AP A, directly.
