GPAWorld country hub
GPAWorld covers 7 universities in Hong Kong. Between them they use 3 different grading scales, the most common being the 4.30 GPA scale at 4 of them. They also round the cumulative average in 2 different ways. That is why this site keeps one grading configuration per university instead of one per country — a single "Hong Kong GPA formula" would be wrong for most students who used it.

This is the clearest argument against using one national formula. Take a student who earns their university's second-best grade in four courses— identical academic performance, on paper — and run it through each institution's own rules:
City University of Hong Kong
Second-best grade: A (4 points)
4.00
Semester GPA
Hong Kong Baptist University
Second-best grade: A- (3.67 points)
3.67
Semester GPA
Same effort, same relative result, different number — because the scales, point values and rounding rules are set by each university rather than by Hong Kong. A calculator that ignores this gives most students the wrong figure.
Looking at the Hong Kong configurations side by side: repeated courses are handled 4 different ways across the group. Each university's own page spells out which of these apply to you.

No. The 7 Hong Kong universities covered here use 3 different grading scales between them, so the same grades can produce very different GPAs. Pick your university from the list on this page.
Open your university's page from the list above. Enter your current CGPA and completed credit hours, then add this semester's courses with their credit hours and grades. The grade options come from that university's own table, and the result is rounded using its own rule — so the number matches how your registrar calculates it.
No — this group alone uses 2 different rounding rules for the cumulative average: rounded to 2 dp, truncated to 2 dp. Truncating instead of rounding can be the difference between sitting just above or just below a scholarship threshold, so it is worth checking your own university's rule.
Because the point values differ. Four courses at the second-best grade give 4.00 at City University of Hong Kong (A = 4.0 points) but 3.67 at Hong Kong Baptist University (A- = 3.67 points). Identical performance, different numbers.
Quite possibly — coverage is being expanded steadily, and each university is only added once its grading policy has been read from an official source and encoded. Send us the university name and a link to its published grading scale and we will add it.
If you want to check the arithmetic by hand rather than trust a calculator, these walkthroughs cover the method that sits underneath every university page on this site.
