GPA & CGPA Calculator

Choose a grade and enter the credit hours for each course to get your semester GPA. Add your previous CGPA and credits if you want the cumulative CGPA.

Choose a grade for each course. Rows without credit hours are ignored.

Credit hours of the course. Leave it empty for unused rows.

Advanced

Fill in both the previous CGPA and the previous total credits to get a cumulative CGPA. Otherwise the CGPA equals the GPA.

This result is an estimate only. Check with your bank or the relevant authority before making decisions.

How it is calculated

Grade points for each grade:

  • A = 4.00

  • A- = 3.67

  • B+ = 3.33

  • B = 3.00

  • B- = 2.67

  • C+ = 2.33

  • C = 2.00

  • C- = 1.67

  • D+ = 1.33

  • D = 1.00

  • F = 0.00

  • GPA = sum of (grade points × credit hours) ÷ total credit hours, over the rows with credit hours above 0

  • With no credits at all, the GPA cannot be calculated

  • CGPA = (previous CGPA × previous credits + this semester’s grade points total) ÷ (previous credits + this semester’s credits), when both previous values are filled in. Otherwise the CGPA equals the GPA.

GPA is the semester GPA (PNG) and CGPA is the cumulative CGPA (PNGK).

Worked example

Four courses: A (3 credits), B+ (3 credits), A- (4 credits) and C (2 credits).

  • Total grade points = 4.00×3 + 3.33×3 + 3.67×4 + 2.00×2 = 40.67
  • Total credits = 12
  • GPA = 40.67 ÷ 12 = 3.39

If your previous CGPA is 3.5 over 30 credits:

  • CGPA = (3.5 × 30 + 40.67) ÷ 42 = 3.47

Why your number may differ

This 4.00 scale is common in Malaysian universities, but grade points differ between institutions. Check your university’s scale.
