Free GPA & CGPA Calculator

GPA (Grade Point Average) is a number that summarizes your academic performance. Each course is worth a certain number of credits (or units), and each grade you earn converts to a grade point on a fixed scale.

The formula is: GPA = Σ (Grade Points × Credits) ÷ Total Credits

Example on a 4.0 scale: if you got A (4.0) in a 3-credit course and B (3.0) in a 2-credit course, your GPA = (4.0×3 + 3.0×2) ÷ 5 = 18÷5 = 3.60.

CGPA (Cumulative GPA) is simply your GPA calculated across all semesters combined, not just one term. Step-by-step worked examples are on the how to calculate GPA page.

Yes — this calculator supports GPA, CGPA, and SGPA in one interface:

• GPA (Grade Point Average) — shown as "Cumulative GPA" at the top; the overall average across everything you've entered.
• CGPA (Cumulative GPA) — same as the "Cumulative GPA" card when you add all your semesters. The weighted average of every course across every semester. Used heavily in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and the Middle East.
• SGPA (Semester GPA) — shown as the GPA: X.XX badge on the right side of each semester header; the average for that single semester only.

To calculate your CGPA: add every semester as a separate block in the Calculator tab — the "Cumulative GPA" card will show your CGPA in real time.

To project a future CGPA or set a target: use the GPA Planner tab.

Different countries and universities use different maximum grade point values — a higher scale number doesn't mean better grades. A 3.5/4.0 and a 4.4/5.0 can represent the same academic standing.

• 4.0 Scale — Standard in the US and Canada. A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0.
• 4.3 Scale — Used by some North American universities. Adds A+ = 4.3 on top of the 4.0 base.
• 4.5 Scale (Korea) — Common in South Korean universities. A+ = 4.5, A = 4.0, B+ = 3.5, and so on.
• 5.0 Scale (Singapore) — Used by universities including NUS and NTU. A+ / A = 5.0. Malaysian public universities such as UM, UKM, and USM generally use a 4.0 scale.
• 7.0 Scale (Australia) — Used by most Australian universities. HD (High Distinction) = 7, D (Distinction) = 6, C (Credit) = 5, P (Pass) = 4.
• 10.0 Scale (India / Pakistan) — CGPA out of 10, common in IITs and many South Asian institutions.
• 20-Point Scale (France / Lebanon) — Marks are out of 20. 10 is typically the passing threshold; 16+ is considered excellent.

There's no universal answer — it depends on your scale, institution, and goal. General benchmarks on a 4.0 scale:

• 3.9 – 4.0 — Exceptional; often within Summa Cum Laude range, although each institution sets its own threshold.
• 3.7 – 3.89 — Excellent. Competitive for top graduate programs and scholarships.
• 3.3 – 3.69 — Good. Meets requirements for most graduate school and scholarship applications.
• 3.0 – 3.29 — Acceptable. Some competitive programs may require higher.
• Below 3.0 — May be below average at selective schools; many graduate programs require at least 3.0 to apply.

For the Australian 7-point scale: a GPA of 5.0+ (Credit) is solid; 6.0+ (Distinction) is competitive for postgraduate applications.

For the Singapore 5.0 scale: NUS and NTU Dean's List eligibility generally requires a semester GPA of at least 4.50 and placement within the top 5% of the cohort, subject to each faculty's rules.

The calculator does it for you: enter your courses, then change the Grading scale dropdown. Every grade is re-mapped to the new scale — a letter that exists on both scales is kept (a B+ stays a B+), and anything else is converted by equivalent percentage.

To do it by hand, use percentage-based conversion: divide your GPA by the max of your current scale to get a percentage, then multiply by the target max.

Example: 3.6 on a 4.0 scale → 3.6 ÷ 4.0 = 90% → on a 5.0 scale: 90% × 5.0 = 4.5.

This is an approximation. Universities and employers often use their own official conversion tables, so always check the target institution's policy. WES (World Education Services) is a widely used standard for US/Canadian graduate admissions conversions. Our GPA scale page has the full tables.

The Cumulative GPA Planner tells you what average GPA you need to earn in your remaining courses to reach your target CGPA by graduation.

Enter: your current CGPA, credits completed so far, your target CGPA, and total credits required to graduate. The tool calculates the required average grade point for every remaining credit.

The Semester Planner is a shorter-range version: enter your current CGPA, credits done, target CGPA, and credits you're taking this semester — it shows the exact GPA you need to earn this term only.

Click Import from Calculator to automatically pre-fill both planners with the grades you've already entered in the Calculator tab.

Yes. Click the Upload Transcript button in the results panel or at the bottom of any semester, then upload a photo or PDF of your transcript. The AI will automatically:

• Detect your grading scale — US 4.0, Australian 7.0, Singapore 5.0, India 10.0, France 20-point, and more are all recognized automatically.
• Split courses by semester or grade year — if your transcript groups courses by term (e.g. 9th Grade / Fall 2023), each group becomes a separate semester in the calculator.
• Fill in course names, credits, and grades — no manual entry needed.

Supported file types: JPG, PNG, WebP, and PDF (first page). For best results, use a clear scan or screenshot at full resolution. Multi-page transcripts can be imported one page at a time — courses are appended to the existing semester list.

The import checks itself. Most transcripts print their own GPA for each term. That figure is read too and compared against what the imported rows add up to — if they disagree, a warning appears above the table naming the term, so a misread grade cannot slip through unnoticed. There is also a dedicated transcript GPA calculator page built around uploading.

Our GPA Scale reference page has full conversion tables for every scale this calculator supports — letter grades, percentages, grade points — plus side-by-side comparison across countries (US, Singapore, Australia, India, Korea, France, UK). It also includes a standalone letter-to-percentage-to-GPA converter.
