Academic Disclaimer: GPA conversions are standardized benchmark estimates based on common equivalencies. Universities, admissions committees, and credential evaluation agencies (such as WES or ECE) utilize proprietary institutional conversion formulas.
How to use
- 1Select the scale your GPA is currently on (for example 4.0).
- 2Enter your GPA value.
- 3Select the target scale, and the calculator shows the equivalent value under a proportional conversion.
Formula
Equivalent GPA = Current GPA / Current scale max × Target scale maxThis proportional method maps a GPA to another scale by preserving its position between 0 and the scale maximum. Note that institutions often use their own official conversion tables, which may differ from a simple proportion.
Examples
3.5 on a 4.0 scale to a 5.0 scale
3.5 ÷ 4.0 × 5.0 → 4.375.
4.375 on 5.0
8.0 on a 10.0 scale to a 4.0 scale
8.0 ÷ 10 × 4.0 → 3.2.
3.2 on 4.0
About
The GPA Converter translates a grade point average from one scale to another, such as 4.0 to 5.0, 10.0 to 4.0, or any other scale combination. It applies a proportional conversion that preserves the relative position of your GPA on the target scale. This is useful when applying to universities abroad, converting an international GPA for US applications, or comparing academic records across programs that use different scales. Because institutions sometimes apply unique tables, this tool gives a reliable estimate and points you to official evaluation services where required.
Frequently asked questions
Is proportional conversion always accurate?
No. Official evaluations from services like WES use country- and school-specific tables. Proportional conversion is a useful estimate, not an official credential evaluation.
Why does my converted GPA look different from my school's?
Because each institution applies its own mapping. Always cite the receiving university's or evaluation service's tables for official purposes.
