Introducing the CGPA to Percentage Calculator
Many colleges and universities now show results in the form of CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) instead of direct percentage. But application forms, scholarship portals and job websites still ask for your marks in percentage. Because of this, most students want a quick and reliable way to convert CGPA to percentage.
The CGPA to Percentage Calculator on StudyCalcHub is designed to solve exactly this problem. You can convert CGPA to percentage multiple times, for different semesters or attempts, without any signup or subscription.
How this CGPA to percentage calculator works
Using this calculator is very simple:
- Make sure your CGPA is on a 10-point scale.
- Enter your CGPA value in the input box above.
- Click on the “Convert to percentage” button.
- Your approximate percentage will appear instantly below the button.
You can repeat this process for as many CGPA values as you want. This is useful when you want to compare different semesters or when you are filling multiple forms.
CGPA to percentage formula (10-point scale)
There is no single universal formula used by all universities in the world. However, many 10-point grading systems follow a simple pattern where CGPA is multiplied by a constant factor to get an approximate percentage.
A commonly used general formula is:
Percentage ≈ CGPA × 9.5
Example 1 – Convert 7.85 CGPA to percentage:
- CGPA = 7.85
- Percentage ≈ 7.85 × 9.5 = 74.575
- Rounded percentage ≈ 74.58%
Example 2 – Convert 8.20 CGPA to percentage:
- CGPA = 8.20
- Percentage ≈ 8.20 × 9.5 = 77.90
- Rounded percentage ≈ 77.90%
Some universities may define a slightly different formula. For example, they might subtract a constant or use a different multiplier (like 9.25, 9.7 etc.). Always check your mark sheet or official circular for the exact formula of your institute.

University-wise conversion – important note
In India and other countries, many universities publish their own official CGPA to percentage rules in academic circulars or handbooks. For example, engineering universities, open universities and private universities often have specific formulas for their programs.
This online calculator gives you a general conversion for a 10-point scale. For admission or document verification, you should always:
- Check your official result or grade card.
- Visit the exam or controller of examination section of your university website.
- Look for “CGPA to percentage conversion” or related circulars.
- Follow the formula approved by your institute.
If your university clearly mentions a formula, use that as the final reference and treat this tool as a quick helper.
What is CGPA and how is it calculated?
CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. It is a number that summarizes your overall academic performance across multiple subjects or semesters on a fixed grade scale (like 10, 5 or 4).
The basic idea of CGPA calculation is:
CGPA = (Sum of grade points × credit hours) ÷ Total credit hours
Example on a 10-point scale:
- Subject 1: Grade = 9, Credits = 3 → 9 × 3 = 27
- Subject 2: Grade = 8, Credits = 4 → 8 × 4 = 32
- Subject 3: Grade = 10, Credits = 2 → 10 × 2 = 20
- Subject 4: Grade = 7, Credits = 3 → 7 × 3 = 21
- Total of (grade × credits) = 27 + 32 + 20 + 21 = 100
- Total credits = 3 + 4 + 2 + 3 = 12
- CGPA = 100 ÷ 12 ≈ 8.33
This CGPA then can be converted to percentage using a formula defined by your board or university.
CGPA to percentage reference tables (short)
The following small tables give you a quick idea of how CGPA values roughly map to percentage on different common scales.
10-point CGPA scale (approximate, using ×9.5)
| CGPA | Approx. % |
|---|---|
| 10.0 | 95.0% |
| 9.5 | 90.25% |
| 9.0 | 85.50% |
| 8.5 | 80.75% |
| 8.0 | 76.00% |
| 7.0 | 66.50% |
| 6.0 | 57.00% |
| 5.0 | 47.50% |
| 4.0 | 38.00% |
5-point CGPA scale (simple ×20 idea)
Some institutes use a 5-point scale. A rough idea can be taken by: Percentage ≈ (CGPA ÷ 5) × 100
| CGPA (5-point) | Approx. % |
|---|---|
| 5.0 | 100% |
| 4.0 | 80% |
| 3.0 | 60% |
| 2.0 | 40% |
| 1.0 | 20% |
4-point CGPA scale (simple ×25 idea)
On a 4-point scale, a quick mental conversion is: Percentage ≈ (CGPA ÷ 4) × 100
| CGPA (4-point) | Approx. % |
|---|---|
| 4.0 | 100% |
| 3.5 | 87.5% |
| 3.0 | 75% |
| 2.0 | 50% |
| 1.0 | 25% |
Converting CGPA to GPA (4-point scale)
Many foreign universities ask for GPA on a 4-point scale instead of CGPA on a 10-point scale. A simple way to estimate GPA is:
GPA ≈ (CGPA ÷ Maximum CGPA) × 4
Example:
- Your CGPA = 7.75 on a 10-point scale
- GPA ≈ (7.75 ÷ 10) × 4 = 3.10
This gives you a rough idea of where you stand on the 4-point scale used in many international universities.
Difference between SGPA and CGPA
Students are often confused between SGPA and CGPA. Here is a quick comparison:
| Feature | SGPA | CGPA |
|---|---|---|
| Meaning | Semester Grade Point Average | Cumulative Grade Point Average |
| Scope | Single semester only | Multiple semesters combined |
| Use | To track performance in that term | To see overall program performance |
| Calculation time | At the end of every semester | After multiple semesters / end of course |
Effective strategies to improve your CGPA
Whether you are in school or college, improving CGPA is a long-term process. Here are some practical tips:
- Plan your time: Make a simple timetable that balances classes, self-study and rest.
- Focus on weak subjects: Identify topics where you lose marks and give them extra attention.
- Ask doubts early: Take help from teachers, seniors or friends whenever you get stuck.
- Submit assignments on time: Internal marks and assignments often affect your SGPA and CGPA.
