Calculate your cumulative GPA across semesters, weighted by credit hours.
CGPA
3.66out of 4.0
CGPA × 9.5 = 34.75%
CGPA is calculated as the weighted average of your semester GPAs, where each semester is weighted by its credit hours. Most universities use the formula: CGPA = sum(semester GPA × credits) ÷ sum(credits). To convert to percentage, multiply CGPA by 9.5.
CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average—the overall GPA covering every course and semester you've taken in your degree programme. Unlike semester GPA (which measures one term), CGPA averages all semesters together, weighted by credit hours per course, to reflect your full academic standing.
Enter your semester GPA scores and their corresponding credit hours for each semester. The calculator multiplies each semester GPA by its total credit hours, sums all weighted grades, then divides by the total credit hours across all semesters. The result is your CGPA, accurate to two decimal places.
CGPA = (GPA₁ × Credits₁ + GPA₂ × Credits₂ + ... + GPAₙ × Creditsₙ) ÷ (Credits₁ + Credits₂ + ... + Creditsₙ)Each semester's GPA is multiplied by the number of credit hours in that term. Sum all weighted values, then divide by total credit hours across all semesters.
| Input | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Semester 1: 3.5 GPA, 15 credits; Semester 2: 3.8 GPA, 16 credits | CGPA = 3.66 | Strong performance both terms; CGPA is the weighted average favoring the stronger second semester |
| Semester 1: 3.2 GPA, 12 credits; Semester 2: 3.4 GPA, 12 credits; Semester 3: 3.6 GPA, 15 credits | CGPA = 3.40 | Improving trend; third semester's 15 credits pulls the average up toward 3.6 |
| Year 1: 3.0 GPA, 30 credits; Year 2: 3.9 GPA, 30 credits | CGPA = 3.45 | Equal weight per semester shows CGPA as the midpoint when credit hours are balanced |
Yes. CGPA (Cumulative GPA) and overall GPA mean the same thing—your average across all semesters. Some universities call it final GPA or degree GPA.
Yes, every semester you've completed counts, weighted by credit hours. Some universities exclude certain grades (e.g. failed courses retaken), so check your institution's policy.
Yes. Future semesters with higher GPAs will raise your cumulative average. The more credit hours you have remaining, the greater the impact of strong performance. Use this calculator to forecast your target GPA per semester.
Most universities consider 3.5+ excellent, 3.0–3.49 very good, 2.5–2.99 good, and 2.0–2.49 acceptable. Top scholarships and grad programmes usually require 3.7+. Check your institution's standards.
This calculator works on the standard 4.0 scale. If your university uses 5.0, 10.0, or a percentage scale, convert first (e.g. 85% on a 100-point scale = 3.4 on a 4.0 scale).
Some universities count Pass/Fail courses as 0 credit toward GPA, others exclude them entirely. Check your transcript policy—if they're graded, enter their GPA value; if not graded, omit them.
