Cumulative GPA Calculator

Cumulative GPA is your overall grade point average calculated across all completed semesters, not just one term. It combines every course's grade points and credit hours into a single weighted average.

Enter each semester's GPA and the number of credit hours for that term. The calculator multiplies each semester GPA by its credits, sums the results, and divides by the total credits to give you your cumulative GPA.

Yes. Add one row per semester, enter the semester GPA and total credits for that term, and the calculator will combine them into a single cumulative GPA across all years.

Use the GPA calculator first to find each semester's GPA from individual course grades and credits, then come back here to combine those semester GPAs cumulatively.

Yes. Cumulative GPA and overall GPA refer to the same thing: the weighted average of all course grades from every semester you have completed.

Credit hours determine how much weight each semester carries. A semester with 18 credits affects your cumulative GPA more than a semester with 9 credits, so the credit count is required for an accurate result.

This calculator uses a standard 4.0 GPA scale. Enter each semester's GPA as a number between 0.0 and 4.0.

The most effective strategy is to perform well in courses with the most credit hours, since those move your cumulative GPA the most. Use Testopia to turn lecture notes and readings into targeted quizzes so you can focus on the highest-impact material.
