About this tool

GPA is a weighted average, and the weighting is the part students get wrong when calculating by hand: an A in a 4-credit course moves your average more than an A in a 2-credit elective. The formula is Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ(credits) — this calculator applies it live as you add courses.

Two grading systems are supported because the world uses both. The 4.0 scale with letter grades (A = 4.0, B+ = 3.3, and so on down to F) is the North American standard; pick each course's letter from the dropdown and the points are applied automatically. The 10-point mode fits the SGPA system common across Indian universities, where each course earns grade points out of 10 — enter the points directly and the same credit-weighted math produces your SGPA.

Add as many courses as your semester has, adjust credits per course (half-credits supported), and the result updates instantly with total credits shown. Worth knowing: grade-point mappings vary slightly between institutions (some award 4.3 for A+, some cap at 4.0; Indian universities map letters to points differently), so for official transcripts your university's published scale is the authority — this calculator uses the most common conventions.

Frequently asked questions

How is GPA calculated?

Multiply each course's grade points by its credits, sum those products, and divide by total credits. A 4-credit A (4.0) and a 2-credit C (2.0) give (16 + 4) ÷ 6 = 3.33 — not the 3.0 a simple average of grades would suggest. Credits are the weighting.

What's the difference between GPA and SGPA/CGPA?

SGPA is the GPA of one semester; CGPA is the cumulative average across all semesters (in Indian systems, usually the credit-weighted mean of SGPAs). This calculator computes one term's figure; to convert a CGPA to a percentage, use the CGPA converter on this site.

Do all universities use the same grade points?

No — the mapping varies. Some US schools award 4.3 for A+, others cap everything at 4.0; Indian universities assign 10, 9, 8… to O, A+, A differently. This tool uses the most common conventions; your institution's published scale governs official calculations.

How do pass/fail courses affect GPA?

At most institutions, a Pass earns credits but no grade points, so it's excluded from GPA math entirely — leave such courses out here. A Fail, in contrast, usually counts as 0 points and drags the average. Check your university's specific policy.
