GPA & Grade Scale Converter

Converts a GPA between the 4.5, 4.3 and 4.0 scales and compares percentages, US letter grades, 10-point CGPA, German grades and UK degree classes. Use it for a reference value when an application asks for a grade on another scale.

How to use

1. Choose a grading system in the tabs at the top, such as "4.5 · 4.3 · 4.0 GPA" or "10-point CGPA".
2. On "4.5 · 4.3 · 4.0 GPA", choose "Your GPA is out of" and enter "Your GPA".
3. Compare the results of the two methods, "Proportional" and "Letter match", or open "Show the full letter table".

How it works

• Proportional: GPA ÷ old maximum × new maximum. Letter match pairs the same letters (A+, A, B+ …) on both scales and joins the values in between with straight lines.
• Out of 100 is GPA ÷ maximum × 100. For the 4.5 scale the page also shows 55 + GPA × 10, a formula often used in Korea; schools differ.
• German grades use the modified Bavarian formula 1 + 3 × (Nmax − Nd) ÷ (Nmax − Nmin). The US percent table is editable and saved on this device.
• Institutions convert grades in different ways. All values are for reference; official conversions follow the receiving school or an evaluator such as WES.

Questions and answers

How do I convert a 4.5 GPA to a 4.0 scale?

A 4.0 out of 4.5 becomes 3.56 by proportion and 4.0 by letter match, because A+ and A are both 4.0 on the 4.0 scale.

What is the difference between the 4.5 and 4.3 scales?

The 4.5 scale steps by 0.5 (A+ 4.5, A 4.0, B+ 3.5); the 4.3 scale has minus grades (A+ 4.3, A 4.0, A− 3.7). A B+ is 3.5 on one and 3.3 on the other.

How do I convert CGPA to percentage?

The CBSE indicative formula is CGPA × 9.5, so 8.0 gives 76%. Other formulas such as (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 are shown under "Compare formulas".

What letter grade is 88 percent?

With the ± table (A 93, A− 90, B+ 87 …), 88% is a B+, or 3.3 points. Cutoffs differ by school, so the table is editable.
