Key takeaways:
This tool keeps a running log of your GPA every semester, so you can watch your cumulative average build across your whole degree rather than recompute one term at a time. It's the companion to our GPA & WAM Calculator, which works out a single semester's figure from individual subject marks — use that one to get each semester's number, then log it here to track it over your whole academic history.
Cumulative GPA is weighted by credit points, not a simple average of your semester GPAs — which matters, since semesters rarely carry identical credit loads. This calculator gets that right automatically.
Cumulative GPA is total grade points divided by total credit points across everything you've completed — which means its sensitivity to any one semester shrinks as your total credit points grow. After 24 credit points, a strong semester can shift your cumulative average substantially; after 144, the same semester is a much smaller share of the total. Early results carry equal weight to later ones but are the easiest to influence while the denominator is still small — worth knowing from the start of a degree, not partway through it.
For the subject-level detail behind each semester's number, use the GPA & WAM Calculator; for a single subject's weighted grade during the term, use the Weighted Grade Calculator.
How is this different from the site's GPA & WAM Calculator?
The GPA & WAM Calculator works out one semester's result from individual subject marks, in a single session. This tool saves your GPA and credit points every semester as a running history, so you can see your cumulative GPA trend across your whole degree over time.
How is cumulative GPA calculated?
Each semester's GPA is multiplied by its credit points, all of those are added together, then divided by the total credit points across every semester logged — not a simple average of your semester GPAs.
Where do I get my semester GPA to enter here?
From your university's results portal, or work it out first with our GPA & WAM Calculator, which computes a semester figure from individual subject marks and credit points.
Where is my semester history stored?
Entirely in this browser's local storage, on this device. Nothing is uploaded. Export a CSV or PDF backup — it's worth doing this at the end of each semester.
Can I edit a semester entry?
Delete the row and add it again with corrected figures — there's no in-place edit.
Why does my cumulative GPA move less over time?
Because the total credit points grow with every semester. A strong semester early on shifts your cumulative GPA a lot; the same result several years in barely moves it, since it's now a smaller share of the total.
