GPA Scale Converter

Convert a GPA between scales: 4.0, 5.0, 10-point and 100-point. Handy for comparing a weighted 5.0-scale GPA with a 4.0 requirement, or a GPA from another country.

Your GPA and its scale

On a 4.0 scale

3.36
  • Out of 108.4
  • Out of 10084.0

A straight proportional conversion. Colleges usually recalculate GPAs with their own rules, so treat this as a rough comparison.

How to use it

  1. Enter your GPA and the scale it's on.
  2. Read the equivalent on the other scales.

The formula

GPA on new scale = GPA ÷ old maximum × new maximum

Example: 4.2 on a 5.0 scale ÷ 5 × 4 = 3.36 on a 4.0 scale.

Good to know

  • Proportional conversion isn't the same as removing weighting. To get a true unweighted GPA, recalculate from letter grades.
  • Credential-evaluation services (WES, ECE) use their own country-specific tables for international transcripts.

Questions

What is a 4.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale?

Proportionally, 4.5 out of 5.0 is 3.6 out of 4.0. If it's a weighted GPA, your actual unweighted GPA could be higher or lower depending on which classes were weighted.

How do I convert a 10-point GPA to 4.0?

Proportionally, divide by 10 and multiply by 4: an 8.5 becomes 3.4.
