DIRECT ANSWER
How is CGPA calculated?
Multiply each course grade point by its credits, add those quality points, then divide by the total included credits. When combining semester GPAs, weight every semester by its credit total instead of taking a simple average.
CGPA = Σ (grade point × course credit) ÷ Σ course creditsONE CALCULATOR, THREE QUESTIONS
See the result you need without rebuilding your whole transcript.
The two entry modes separate what is known from what is still being planned, while keeping every result credit-weighted.

A quick grade-point starting point
This table is widely used in Bangladesh, but an institution may split letter bands or assign different values. Select Enter points in the calculator whenever your official transcript uses another scale.
| Letter grade | Grade point |
|---|---|
| A+ | 4.00 |
| A | 3.75 |
| A- | 3.50 |
| B+ | 3.25 |
| B | 3.00 |
| B- | 2.75 |
| C+ | 2.50 |
| C | 2.25 |
| D | 2.00 |
| F | 0.00 |
YOUR TRANSCRIPT COMES FIRST
There is no single scale for every university.
The University Grants Commission provides grading guidance, while institutions publish their own academic rules. Retakes, excluded grades, pass marks and repeated credits can change the official CGPA. Use the exact points and included credits shown by your institution; use the dedicated NSU or National University calculator when those rules apply.
FOUR STEPS
Get a reliable estimate in four steps
- 01
Choose the right mode
Use course grades for a current or planned term, and semester GPAs for published term results.
- 02
Copy the credit values
Use attempted or earned credits exactly as your institution defines them, not the number of courses.
- 03
Enter official grade points
Use the common scale only when it matches your transcript; otherwise switch to direct points.
- 04
Check the final record
Treat this as an estimate and compare it with the official portal or transcript after results are published.
KEEP IN MIND
Before you use the number
Do not average GPAs without credits.
A 21-credit semester should not have the same weight as a 12-credit semester.
Do not add a retake twice.
Retake treatment differs by institution; follow the rule in your academic handbook.
A target is a planning guide.
Required GPA can exceed 4.00 when the chosen target is not reachable with the entered credits.
PUBLIC SOURCES
Check the scale against official guidance.
BanglaTools performs the arithmetic locally. Your university's transcript and academic regulations remain the final authority.
COMMON QUESTIONS
CGPA calculator: common questions
Quick answers about credit weighting, 4.00 scales, semester results and target planning.
How do I calculate CGPA out of 4?
Multiply each grade point by that course's credits, add the results, and divide by all included credits. The answer remains on the 4.00 scale when every grade point is between 0.00 and 4.00.
Is CGPA the average of semester GPAs?
Only when every semester has the same number of credits. Otherwise, multiply each semester GPA by its credits and divide the total points by the total credits.
Can I calculate only one semester GPA?
Yes. Open Course grades, leave completed credits and current CGPA at zero, then enter the courses from that semester.
How can I calculate my next CGPA?
Enter completed credits and current CGPA, add the next courses with expected grade points, and read Projected CGPA. It combines previous and planned quality points.
What CGPA scale does the calculator use?
The grade menu uses a common Bangladesh 4.00 scale. Because universities can use different points, you can switch to Enter points and copy the exact values from your transcript.
Does the calculator handle retakes?
The general calculator does not guess a retake policy because institutions treat repeated courses differently. Adjust the included credits and points according to your university rules or use an institution-specific calculator.
