How to Use the CGPA Calculator

Our CGPA calculator makes it easy to determine your Grade Point Average. Here’s how:

Select Your Grading Scale: Choose your institution’s scale from the dropdown (e.g., 4-Point or 10-Point). This will update the available grades.
Enter Current Courses: For each course this semester, enter the Credits (or credit hours) and select the Grade you received.
Add Previous Semesters (Optional): To find your overall CGPA, click “+ Add Previous Semester” and enter the CGPA and total credits from past semesters.
Understand Quality Points: Before calculating, it helps to know about “quality points.” For each course, this value is found by multiplying its grade point by its credits. Your final CGPA is the total of these quality points divided by your total credits.
Calculate: Press the “Calculate CGPA” button to see your final CGPA, total credits, and total quality points.

Understanding CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average)

CGPA, or Cumulative Grade Point Average, is a crucial academic metric that represents your average performance across all semesters. Unlike a simple average, CGPA is a weighted average, where courses with more credits have a greater impact on the final score.

The universal formula to calculate CGPA is:

CGPA = Σ (Grade Point × Credits) / Σ (Total Credits)

Here, “Quality Points” are calculated for each course by multiplying the grade point by the course credits. The calculator sums up these points and divides by the total number of credits to find your accurate CGPA.
