How It Works

Our GPA calculator simplifies the process of determining your academic performance. The calculation is based on a standard formula used by most educational institutions.

  1. Add Your Courses: Click the "Add Another Course" button for each subject you've taken.
  2. Enter Credit Units: Input the number of credit units or hours assigned to each course. This value represents the weight of the course.
  3. Select Your Grade: Choose the grade you received (A, B, C, D, E, or F) from the dropdown menu. Each grade corresponds to a specific point value (A=5, B=4, etc.).
  4. View Instant Results: The calculator automatically computes your GPA in real-time. It multiplies the credit units by the grade points for each course, sums them up, and then divides by the total number of credit units.

GPA = (Total Grade Points) / (Total Credit Units)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What's the difference between GPA and CGPA?

GPA (Grade Point Average) typically refers to your academic performance in a single semester or term. CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the average of your GPAs across all semesters, giving a picture of your overall academic performance.

How do I calculate my CGPA with this tool?

Simply click the "Add Another Semester" button for each academic session you want to include. Add your courses and grades for each semester, and the tool will automatically calculate both the individual semester GPA and your overall CGPA at the top.

What grading scale does this calculator use?

This calculator uses a 5.0 grading scale, which is common in many Nigerian universities and other institutions worldwide: A=5.0, B=4.0, C=3.0, D=2.0, E=1.0, and F=0.0.

What is a good GPA?

A "good" GPA is subjective and depends on your field, institution, and goals. Generally, a GPA of 3.0 to 3.5 (on a 4.0 scale) or 4.0 to 4.5 (on a 5.0 scale) is considered strong. For competitive programs or scholarships, aiming for the highest possible GPA is recommended.

Can I use this calculator for different grading scales (e.g., 4.0 or 7.0)?

Currently, this tool is optimized for the 5.0 grading scale. We are working on adding options to switch between different scales. For now, you would need to convert your grades to the 5.0 equivalent to use it.
