GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated by converting each letter grade to grade points, multiplying by the course credit hours, summing all the results, then dividing by the total credit hours attempted.
For example: if you get an A (4.0) in a 3-credit course and a B (3.0) in a 4-credit course, your GPA = (4.0×3 + 3.0×4) / (3+4) = (12+12) / 7 = 3.43.

The Grade Point Average (GPA) system is used across universities and colleges in the United States, Canada, India, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Pakistan and many other countries. Whether you need to calculate your semester GPA, cumulative GPA (CGPA) or check what grades you need to reach a target GPA, this free calculator handles it all.
GPA typically refers to your grade point average for a single semester or term. CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is your overall average across all semesters completed so far. Many universities in India, Nigeria, Kenya and other countries use CGPA to summarise academic performance across an entire degree programme.
On a 4.0 scale: a GPA of 3.5 – 4.0 is considered excellent (Dean's List or First Class), 3.0 – 3.4 is good (Second Class Upper or Honours), 2.5 – 2.9 is satisfactory, and below 2.0 may put you on academic probation at many institutions. Requirements vary by university and programme.
