Grade Point Average Calculator by Percentage

GPA Formula:

\[ GPA = \frac{\%}{25} \]

GPA (4.0 scale):

Definition: This calculator converts percentage grades to the 4.0 GPA scale commonly used in many educational systems.

Purpose: It helps students and educators translate percentage scores to the standardized GPA format for academic evaluation.

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ GPA = \frac{\%}{25} \]

Where:

Explanation: The percentage is divided by 25 to approximate the 4.0 scale, with 100% = 4.0, 75% = 3.0, etc.

Details: GPA conversion is essential for academic applications, scholarship eligibility, and when comparing international grading systems.

Tips: Enter your percentage score (0-100). The calculator will automatically convert it to the 4.0 GPA scale.

Q1: Is this conversion accurate for all schools?
A: This is a general approximation. Some institutions may use different conversion scales.

Q2: What if my percentage is above 100%?
A: The calculator caps at 100% (4.0 GPA) as this is the maximum on standard scales.

Q3: How do letter grades correspond to this?
A: Typically: A (90-100% = 3.6-4.0), B (80-89% = 3.2-3.56), C (70-79% = 2.8-3.16), etc.

Q4: Can I calculate cumulative GPA with this?
A: This calculates GPA for a single course. For cumulative GPA, average the GPAs of all courses.

Q5: Why divide by 25 specifically?
A: 25 is used because 100%/4.0 = 25, providing a linear conversion between the scales.
