The Grade calculator: four courses with letters and credits making a GPA of 3.45, 48.3 points over 14 credits

A CGPA is a GPA on a 10-point scale, weighted by credits.

The sum.

Multiply each term's SGPA (or each course's points) by its credits, add them and divide by all the credits. 9 over 3 credits and 8 over 4 make 59 ÷ 7 ≈ 8.43.

Credits matter.

A term with more credits counts for more, so the CGPA is not the plain average of SGPAs unless every term has the same credits.

To a percentage.

Choose CGPA to percentage and your board's or university's rule.
