These tools work out your GPA, CGPA and FGPA on the rules Ghanaian universities publish: the University of Ghana's Regulations for Junior Members for GPA, CGPA, FGPA and the class of degree, and KNUST's regulations for its CWA classes. Every rule links to the document it comes from, with the date GradeCat opened it. Each tool works right away with no account, and your grades stay in your browser.
Tools
Which tool to use when
You want your semester GPA or CGPA at UG: use the UG GPA, CGPA and FGPA Calculator. Enter each course's credits and grade. The CGPA covers every course you have registered for, weighted by its credits.
You want your FGPA and class of degree: in the same calculator, pick each semester's level, or type your Level 100 to 400 GPAs. Levels 300 and 400 count double: level GPAs of 3.20, 3.40, 3.70 and 3.80 give an FGPA of 3.60, First Class.
You want the Level 400 GPA a class needs: in the same calculator, type your Level 100 to 300 GPAs and leave Level 400 blank. With 3.20, 3.40 and 3.70, First Class needs at least 3.80.
You are at KNUST: use the KNUST CWA Calculator. Enter each course's percentage mark and credits, failed courses too. It gives your Cumulative Weighted Average to 2 decimals and its class: 70 and above is First Class.
You want to know what a mark or a grade means: see the Grading Scale and Class of Degree in Ghana. It has UG's grades and grade points, its class bands, KNUST's CWA classes and the WASSCE numbers UG and UCC use in aggregates.
You want to know why your FGPA and CGPA differ: read FGPA vs CGPA at the University of Ghana. It explains the 1:1:2:2 weighting, with worked examples.
Guides
- FGPA vs CGPA at the University of Ghana: semester GPA, CGPA, the FGPA's level weights and the class of degree bands.
- How to calculate your WASSCE aggregate: the number for each grade, which six subjects UG and KNUST count, the 24 threshold and 2026/2027 cut-offs.
Tools that work with any marks
Some GradeCat tools work on marks from any country. The Grade Calculator adds up marks out of their totals, the Weighted Grade Calculator combines parts such as continuous assessment and the exam with their weights, and the Final Grade Calculator shows what you need in the exam. Their letter grades follow US scales, so read the percentage they give.

- A WASSCE aggregate calculator, and the BECE placement aggregate, whose rule could not be verified.
- UCC's GPA scale and classes, whose documents were not opened.
- FGPAs for programmes that do not run Levels 100 to 400, such as Level 200 entry, the 6-semester BPH and medicine: UG gives no weights for them.
