These online tools take your Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) and convert it into a percentage using the standard formula followed by most universities, helping you convert CGPA into percentage easily.
Using a CGPA to percentage calculator is as simple as entering a number. Follow these steps to do the calculation:
Cumulative Grade Point Average(CGPA) is a single score card that averages your grades across all semesters of your course. Instead of showing marks or percentages for each subject, it gives one clear number to show your overall academic performance progress.
Schools and colleges use it because it's fairer and easier to compare. It smooths out ups and downs in single exams. In India CBSE and most universities, it's on a 10 point scale. Internationally, you often see a 4.0 scale, where 4.0 is top marks.
CGPA gives a rounded average of your grades over the full course and semester, like an overall vibe check on your studies. Percentage, on the other hand, is a straight count of marks out of 100 per subject or total, showing exact scores but feeling more old-school. When you convert CGPA into percentage using a CGPA to percentage converter, it also helps you understand values like 7.4 CGPA in percentage more clearly.
You need CGPA for most college admissions in India or internal evaluations, since it's standard there. Percentages pop up more for jobs, scholarships, or applying abroad many forms still ask for that familiar 85% style. Tools like converters help switch between them easily when requirements mix up.
CGPA to percentage is not the same everywhere because each board or university uses a different formula. Most Indian colleges follow the UGC guideline to convert CGPA into percentage: multiply your CGPA by 9.5 for a quick equivalent, like 8.0 CGPA becoming 76%.
CGPA to Percentage Formula:
Percentage = CGPA × 9.5
Example Calculation
If your CGPA is 8.0, then:
Percentage = 8.0 × 9.5 = 76%
So, if your CGPA is 8.0, it equals 76%.

| 8.5 | 80.75% |
| 8.4 | 79.80% |

Let’s look at a simple example of converting CGPA to percentage using a CGPA to percentage converter. Suppose your subjects have the following grade points:
| Subject | Grade (CGPA) |
|---|---|
| English | 7.0 |
| Maths | 8.0 |
| Science | 7.5 |
| History | 8.5 |
| Computer | 8.2 |
To get your overall CGPA, just add all your grade points and divide by the number of subjects:
(7.0 + 8.0 + 7.5 + 8.5 + 8.2) ÷ 5 = 7.84
Next, convert the CGPA into a percentage using the basic formula:
8.2 × 9.5 = 74.48%
The calculator quickly converts your CGPA into a percentage.
For CBSE Class 10th, 12th and universities, the formula is very simple: Percentage = CGPA × 9.5. This formula comes from UGC guidelines to easily convert your CGPA into a percentage.
Your CGPA is 8.0 just multiplied by 9.5 to get 76%. This gives your percentage, easy to use for job or college applications, and works for most 10-point scales.
Few foreign universities and some Indian universities use 4-point or 5-point scales instead of the usual 10-point. 4.0 means top grades on a 4-point scale, and on a 5-point scale, it’s roughly the same but scaled up.
These need different multipliers like roughly ×25 for 4-point to get percentages. Always choose the correct scale in your calculator or follow your college’s guide so the conversion is accurate.
4-Point Scale to Percentage:
Percentage = CGPA × 25
Example: CGPA = 3.6 → 3.6 × 25 = 90%
5-Point Scale to Percentage:
Percentage = CGPA × 20
Example: CGPA = 4.2 → 4.2 × 20 = 84%
