Percentage to GPA Calculator
Convert your percentage marks to a US-style 4.0 GPA estimate. Country-specific conversion tables help explain how your grades may be interpreted across systems.
Why Percentage to GPA Conversion Is Not Simple
A common mistake is dividing your percentage by 25 to get a GPA. This gives incorrect results because grading standards differ between countries. In India, 70% is typically an 'A' grade, while in the United States, 70% is a 'C'. The thresholds and letter grade boundaries are different everywhere.
Our calculator uses source-backed national grading tables for each country, so your conversion gives a planning estimate you can compare with admissions, evaluator, or immigration requirements.
| Percentage | India GPA | US Equivalent | Letter Grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 90-100% | 9.0-10.0 | 4.0 | A |
| 80-89% | 8.0-8.9 | 3.5-3.9 | A-/B+ |
| 70-79% | 7.0-7.9 | 3.0-3.4 | B |
| 60-69% | 6.0-6.9 | 2.0-2.9 | C |
| 50-59% | 5.0-5.9 | 1.0-1.9 | D |
