Percentage to GPA Calculator

Every one of these conversions is a convention, not an equivalence. The linear mapping used here is the one credential evaluators apply, but the institution reading your application will use its own table — treat the result as an estimate to quote, not a fact.

A GPA on the 4.0 scale is what North American admissions offices read, so a grade earned on any other scale has to be translated before it can be compared. This page translates from three starting points: a percentage, an Indian 10-point CGPA, and a German grade from 1 to 6. Every route crosses the percentage bridge. The linear mapping is the one credential evaluators apply — GPA equals the percentage minus 20, divided by 20. The page opens on 85 %, which gives 3.25. A 10-point CGPA is multiplied by 9.5 first, following the Indian CBSE convention, so a CGPA of 8.5 is 80.75 % and therefore 3.04. A German grade runs through the modified Bavarian formula resolved for the percentage, where a 1 is 100 % and a 4 the pass mark, which puts a German 2.0 at 3.17. What the result does not carry is any weighting. A weighted GPA from an honours or AP course sits outside this scale, which is why the mapping caps at 4.0 and why anything at or below 20 % reads as 0. The limitation that matters most is that each of these bridges is a convention, not an equivalence. The institution reading your application decides with its own table, so the number here is a figure to quote, not a fact.
