CGPA Calculator
Calculate your cumulative GPA.
About this tool
The CGPA Calculator aggregates GPA scores across multiple semesters to produce your Cumulative Grade Point Average. It's the figure most graduate schools and employers see on your transcript.
How it works
- Add each completed semester with its GPA and total credit hours.
- The calculator weights each semester's GPA by its credit hours.
- Review your cumulative GPA and see how the current semester affects it.
- Model future semesters to plan what scores you need to hit a target CGPA.
Example use cases
- Four-semester average: Semesters with 3.8 (15cr), 3.5 (18cr), 3.2 (15cr), and 3.7 (12cr) produce a weighted CGPA of approximately 3.56.
- Recovery planning: A student with a 2.8 CGPA over 60 credit hours wants to reach 3.0. The tool shows they need roughly a 3.4 GPA over the next 30 credits.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between GPA and CGPA?
GPA is your grade average for a single semester. CGPA is the overall average across all completed semesters, weighted by credit hours.
Does repeating a course affect CGPA?
It depends on your institution's grade replacement policy. Some schools replace the original grade; others average both attempts. Check your academic handbook.
