Quick Answer
GPA scales vary by country. The US uses a 4.0 scale, the UK uses degree classifications (First, 2:1, 2:2), India uses a 10-point CGPA scale, and Germany uses a 1–5 scale where 1 is highest. Converting between scales requires country-specific equivalency tables.
How GPA Conversion Works
There is no single universal formula for converting grades between countries — different systems measure very different things. This converter maps each international grade to the equivalent band on the US 4.0 scale (or back to your home system), using the conversion tables published by universities and credential-evaluation bodies such as WES.
For example, a First-class UK degree (70%+) is generally treated as roughly a US 3.7–4.0, while a UK 2:1 (60–69%) is usually considered a US 3.0–3.6. Similarly, an Indian CGPA of 8–9 on the 10-point scale is commonly read as a US 3.3–3.8. Your own institution may apply slightly different bands, so always confirm with the admissions office of the university you're applying to.
Why don't my grades convert to an exact number?
Grading scales are not arithmetic units — a "B" at one university may represent different work than a "B" at another. Converters give a defensible range, not an exact transcript evaluation. Official evaluations are done by credential agencies (WES, ECE, etc.) and cost money; this tool gives you a free, instant estimate in the meantime.
Should I use the 4.0 or 4.33 maximum?
Most US universities use a flat 4.0 cap where A+ still equals 4.0. Some (particularly in the Ivy League and liberal-arts colleges) allow A+ = 4.33 for weighted GPA. Choose the setting that matches your target institution's transcript policy.
Which country scale should I pick?
Pick the grading system of the country where you studied. If your university uses its own internal scale (e.g. a 9-point or 12-point system), check whether it's listed; if not, the closest national scale is usually a good approximation.
