CGPA Calculator

1. Enter the SGPA for each semester, separated by commas.
2. Enter the credits for each semester in the same order.
3. Read your CGPA, its percentage estimate and your total credits.
4. Add a new semester any time to see your CGPA update.

Here is what each result means:

CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. It is the overall average of your grade points across every semester of a course, weighted by the credits each semester carries. Where SGPA measures a single semester, CGPA measures your whole academic record so far.

Most universities report CGPA on a 10-point or 4.0 scale. Because it is cumulative and credit-weighted, a strong semester with many credits lifts it more than a light one, and a single weak semester early on has less effect as more semesters are added.

It multiplies each semester SGPA by that semester credits, adds the results, and divides by the total credits.

1. Multiply each semester SGPA by its credits to get weighted points.
2. Add the weighted points across all semesters.
3. Divide by the total credits to get the CGPA.

To estimate a percentage, many Indian universities multiply CGPA by 9.5, which this tool shows alongside the CGPA.

Suppose your semester SGPAs are 8.4, 8.8, 9.0, 8.6 with credits 20, 22, 21, 20.

Calculation: weighted points = (8.4x20) + (8.8x22) + (9.0x21) + (8.6x20) = 168 + 193.6 + 189 + 172 = 722.6. Total credits = 83. CGPA = 722.6 / 83 = 8.71.

Using the x 9.5 rule, that is roughly 82.71%. Notice each semester pulls on the average in proportion to its credits.

There is no universal formula, but a widely used rule multiplies CGPA by 9.5, which this calculator applies. Your university may use a different multiplier or a conversion table.

Always use your own institution official conversion where one exists, since admissions and employers may require it.

These three measures describe performance over different spans and scales.

Work out a single semester first with the SGPA calculator, then combine them here.

Credit Weighting

Heavier semesters move the CGPA more. A strong result in a high-credit semester lifts it faster than in a light one.

How Many Semesters You Have Done

Early on, each semester swings the CGPA a lot. Later, the growing total steadies it, so improving becomes slower.

Consistency

A steady record beats a volatile one. One very weak semester can weigh on the cumulative average for a long time.

After Each Semester

Fold your latest SGPA into the cumulative figure the moment results are out.

Planning a Target

Work out the SGPA you would need next semester to reach a goal CGPA for a scholarship or job.

Applications

Report your CGPA and its percentage estimate on forms that ask for either.

1. Ignoring Credits

A simple average of SGPAs is wrong when semesters carry different credits. CGPA is credit-weighted.

2. Misaligning the Lists

The first SGPA must match the first credit value, and so on. A mismatched order corrupts the result.

3. Assuming X 9.5 Is Official

It is a common approximation, not a universal rule. Use your university conversion where required.

4. Mixing Scales

Keep every SGPA on the same scale, usually 10-point. Do not mix 10-point and 4.0 values.

5. Forgetting a Semester

Leaving one out, especially a heavy one, changes both totals and the average.

The math is exact for the values you enter, but conversion and grading rules differ by institution.

Multiply each semester SGPA by its credits, add those products, then divide by the total credits. For example, SGPAs 8.4, 8.8, 9.0, 8.6 with credits 20, 22, 21, 20 give a CGPA of about 8.71.

SGPA is your grade point average for one semester, while CGPA is the cumulative average across all semesters, weighted by credits. CGPA is effectively the credit-weighted average of your SGPAs.

A common rule multiplies CGPA by 9.5, so a CGPA of 8.0 is roughly 76 percent. This is an approximation; use your university official conversion where one is specified.

It depends on your university. Many use a 10-point scale, while others, especially in the US, use a 4.0 scale. Enter your SGPAs on whichever scale your institution uses.

On a 10-point scale, 9 and above is often outstanding, 7.5 to 9 very good, and 6 to 7.5 good. Standards vary by university and programme.

Yes. CGPA is cumulative, so it includes every completed semester. Enter each semester SGPA and credits to get the running average.

Because it is credit-weighted and cumulative, focus on strong results in high-credit semesters and stay consistent. As more semesters are added, each new one moves the average less, so earlier improvement counts for more.

Yes, the same weighted formula works if you enter each subject grade point and its credits instead of semester SGPAs and semester credits. Just keep the two lists aligned.

No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser and nothing you enter is stored or sent anywhere unless you choose to Save a result, which stays only in this browser.
