From grade points back to a percentage
Lots of scholarship and job applications ask for a percentage even though your transcript reports a GPA. This converter gives you a defensible estimate using the midpoint of the standard grade band.

Frequently asked questions
How do you convert GPA to a percentage?
There's no single exact formula because each grade point covers a range of percentages (a 4.0 covers roughly 93-100%). The common convention is to use the midpoint of the matching band, which is what this tool does.
Is a 3.5 GPA a B+ or A-?
A 3.5 sits between a B+ (3.3) and an A- (3.7), so it's often described as a B+/A- average, around 88-89% on the standard scale.
Why isn't GPA-to-percentage exact?
GPA compresses a range of percentages into a single grade point. Going backward loses that detail, so any GPA-to-percent conversion is an estimate. Always use your school's official scale where one exists.
