What does this tool do
The GPA Converter helps you translate your grade point average between different international grading systems. Whether you're applying to universities abroad, comparing transcripts, or interpreting grades from another country, this tool converts a single GPA value into its equivalents across eight common scales: US 4.0, US 4.3, UK degree classification, German 1–5, French 0–20, Indian CGPA 10.0, Australian 0–7, Vietnamese 10-point (MOET), and percentage.
How to use it
- Select your source scale — Choose the grading system your current GPA belongs to (e.g. US 4.0, UK, German).
- Enter your GPA value — Type your grade in the input field. Make sure it's within the valid range for that scale (shown in the dropdown).
- Click Convert — The tool instantly displays the equivalent grade on every other supported scale, plus the intermediate percentage value.
- Read the results — Each scale shows its converted value. For band-based scales (UK, Australia), you'll see a letter or classification label instead of a number.
How it works
The converter uses percentage (0–100) as a common intermediary. Your input grade is first converted to a percentage using the source scale's mapping. That percentage is then converted into each target scale using the inverse mapping. This ensures consistent results regardless of which scale you start from.
All computation runs entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
Use cases & examples
- Studying abroad — Convert your home country GPA to the format required by a university in the US, UK, or elsewhere.
- Comparing applicants — HR or admissions staff can quickly compare candidates from different educational systems.
- Transcript interpretation — Understand what a grade from another country means in familiar terms.
- Academic planning — See how your current grades map to different grading systems before applying.
Example
If you have a 3.5 on the US 4.0 scale, the tool converts it to approximately 87.5% and then shows equivalents such as:
- UK: Upper Second (2:1)
- Germany: 2.0
- France: 14.0
- India: 8.75
Limitations & known constraints
- Approximations — Conversion via percentage produces approximate equivalencies. Grade boundaries differ between institutions; this tool provides a useful reference, not an official transcript.
- Vietnamese scale — Uses the MOET Thang điểm 10 (10-point scale). Some institutions use a 4-point variant, which is not modelled here.
- Input validation — Values must be within the declared min/max for each scale. Out-of-range input returns an error with the allowed range.
