Enter your courses, credit units, and grades to calculate your Grade Point Average (GPA) on a 5.00-point grading scale.
| Course | Credit Unit | Grade |
|---|
Your weighted GPA is calculated from the credit units and grade points entered for each course.
Each course contributes quality points according to its credit unit and grade point.
| Course | Credit | Grade | Grade Point | Quality Points |

GPA stands for Grade Point Average. It is a numerical measure used by educational institutions to summarize a student's academic performance over a group of courses.
A weighted GPA gives greater influence to courses with more credit units. For example, a 4-credit course contributes more to the overall GPA than a 1-credit course with the same grade.
The GPA produced by this calculator is based on a 5.00-point scale using the following grade points:
| Grade | Grade Point | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A | 5 | Excellent |
| B | 4 | Very Good |
| C | 3 | Good |
| D | 2 | Fair |
| E | 1 | Pass |
| F | 0 | Fail |
Follow these steps to calculate your GPA:
Suppose a student has three courses:
| Course | Credit | Grade | Grade Point | Quality Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 3 | A | 5 | 3 × 5 = 15 |
| English | 2 | B | 4 | 2 × 4 = 8 |
| Biology | 3 | C | 3 | 3 × 3 = 9 |
GPA is normally a weighted average rather than a simple average of grades. The credit unit determines how strongly each course affects the final result.
Consider two courses where a student receives an A in both. If one course is worth 4 credit units and the other is worth 1 credit unit, the 4-credit course contributes four times as many quality points.
This is why entering the correct credit unit for every course is important when calculating a GPA.
GPA generally refers to the grade point average for a particular semester, term, or group of courses.
CGPA, or Cumulative Grade Point Average, represents cumulative academic performance across multiple semesters or academic periods.
A student's CGPA is calculated using the combined quality points and credit units from the periods included in the institution's cumulative calculation.
A GPA calculator can be useful for students who want to:
The calculations on this page are performed directly in your web browser. The course names, grades, and credit units you enter are used to perform the calculation displayed on this page.
Because this calculator does not require you to create an academic record or submit your results to a server, it can be useful for quick personal calculations.
For privacy, avoid entering confidential information on a shared or public computer.
This calculator provides a mathematical GPA calculation based on the values you enter. It does not determine or change your institution's official academic result.
It does not automatically account for institution-specific rules such as repeated-course replacement, grade exclusions, transferred credits, withdrawals, incomplete courses, or special weighting policies.
If the result is being used for an official application, graduation requirement, scholarship, employment, or academic decision, verify the calculation against your institution's official records and grading rules.
A 5.00 GPA is the maximum GPA on a 5-point grading scale. The exact classification associated with a GPA depends on the academic institution's regulations.
GPA is calculated by dividing the total quality points by the total credit units. Quality points for an individual course are calculated by multiplying its credit unit by the grade point earned.
Credit units determine the weight of each course. A course with more credit units has a greater effect on the overall GPA than a course with fewer credit units.
GPA usually represents performance for a particular semester or period, while CGPA represents cumulative performance across multiple academic periods.
Yes. Course names are optional in this calculator. If a course name is not provided, the calculator identifies it as Course 1, Course 2, Course 3, and so on.
The current calculator is designed for GPA based on the courses entered. CGPA requires combining the quality points and credit units from multiple academic periods according to your institution's rules.
No. It is a calculation tool. Your university, polytechnic, college, or other educational institution remains the authoritative source for your official GPA or CGPA.
This GPA calculator is provided for educational and informational purposes. Results depend entirely on the grading scale, credit units, grades, and calculation rules used by the user. Always confirm official GPA or CGPA values with your educational institution.
