GPA Conversion Charts

Turn any percentage into a GPA, any GPA into a percentage, and find out what your number actually means.

Grades get reported three different ways: as a percentage, as a letter, and as points on the 4.0 scale. Applications, scholarships, and transfer forms rarely ask for the same one your school prints, so you end up converting.

Each page below gives you the direct answer first, then the full chart and the context behind it. Pick the number you have and go from there.

Find the letter grade your percentage falls under, then use that letter's point value on the 4.0 scale. A 93 to 96 percent is an A, worth 4.0 points. An 87 to 89 percent is a B+, worth 3.3 points. Your GPA is the average of those point values across all your courses, weighted by credit hours rather than a straight average.
Because the conversion loses information going in the first direction. When your school turned a percentage into GPA points, it grouped a range of scores into one value, so an 83 and an 86 both became a 3.0. Working backward can only return the range, not the original number. That is why every GPA to percentage answer is a band.
No. The chart on this site is the most common version used in United States high schools and colleges, but individual schools and even individual teachers set their own cutoffs. Some schools use a 90 to 100 range for an A with no plus or minus grades at all. Your syllabus or registrar has the version that applies to you.
