CGPA & GPA Calculator

Enter the credit hours and grade for each course to get your semester GPA. Add your earlier CGPA to see the new one and the GPA you need to reach a target.

This is the most common layout, not the official scale of any university. Grade points differ between universities, so check your academic handbook.

Earlier semesters and target (optional)

Take your CGPA and total credit hours earned from your latest results slip. Leave blank if this is your first semester.

Enter the credit hours and grade for at least one course to see your GPA.

Quick answers

How do I calculate my GPA?

Multiply each course's grade points by its credit hours, add them up, then divide by the total credit hours. Example: an A (4.00) for 3 credits, a B (3.00) for 3 credits and a B+ (3.33) for 4 credits gives 34.32 ÷ 10 = a GPA of 3.43.

What is the difference between GPA and CGPA?

GPA is your pointer for one semester. CGPA is the pointer across every semester so far, weighted by credit hours. Example: a CGPA of 3.20 over 30 credits, plus a GPA of 3.43 over 10 credits, becomes a CGPA of 3.26.

Does a failed course count towards CGPA?

Yes. A fail carries 0 grade points but its credit hours still count, so it pulls that semester's GPA down. How a repeat grade replaces the original differs between universities, so check your academic regulations.

Is the grading scale the same at every university?

No. The formula is the same, but the grade points differ. An A-, for example, is worth 3.67 (JPPKK, Kolej Matrikulasi, Taylor's University, grade legend January 2024 onwards, grade legend September 2017 onwards, UIAM / IIUM, UKM, UMPSA, UMS, UNIMAS, USM, UniSZA, UTM, UiTM, UTAR) or 3.70 (UM, UMK, UTeM) or 3.75 (UniMAP, UMT, UPSI, UPM). Pick your university in the calculator so the right scale is used.

What GPA do I need for the Dean's List?

Each university sets its own threshold. Published semester GPA thresholds: MMU 3.67, Taylor's University 3.50, UIAM / IIUM 3.50, UKM 3.67, UM 3.70, UMK 3.70, UMPSA 3.50, UMS 3.50, UNIMAS 3.50, UMT 3.50, UPSI 3.50, UPM 3.75, UniSZA 3.50, UTeM 3.50, UTM 3.67, UiTM 3.50, UTHM 3.50, UTAR 3.60. Most also require a minimum credit load and no failed course that semester.
