About
The GPA and Letter Grade Converter lets you switch between numeric GPA values and letter grades on the standard US 4.0 scale. Enter a GPA to see the nearest letter grade, or a letter grade to see the typical numeric equivalent. The tool is handy when reading transcripts that show only one format, comparing grades across schools, or explaining your academic record to scholarships and employers. Because letter-grade boundaries vary slightly between institutions, the converter uses a widely accepted mapping and encourages confirming the official scale with your school.
Frequently asked questions
Why do different calculators vary on letter boundaries?
Letter-grade cutoffs are not universally standardized. The converter uses a common US mapping; your school's syllabus or catalog defines the official boundaries.
Can I use this for weighted grades?
This converter assumes the standard 4.0 unweighted scale. Weighted grading uses different point values for Honors and AP courses.
