Grades can feel a little tricky, right? Some universities give you a GPA, others stick with percentages. Now imagine applying abroad—your college in Lahore gave you 78%, but the university in the US wants a GPA. Or maybe you studied in Canada on a 4.0 GPA scale but now applying for a government job in Pakistan that needs percentages.
That’s exactly why I created this free GPA to Percentage Calculator (and Percentage to GPA Converter). It’s quick, simple, and works for multiple countries—Pakistan, India, USA, Canada, Australia and more.
Why Do You Need a GPA to Percentage Calculator?
Well, here’s the thing. Every country (and sometimes each university) uses a different grading system:
-
USA & Canada → GPA on a 4.0 or 4.3 scale.
-
Pakistan → Most use percentage, but top universities use GPA on 4.0 scale.
-
India → Often uses a 10-point GPA system.
-
Australia → GPA on 7-point scale.
-
Europe & UK → Usually percentage or class-based grades (First Class, Second Class, etc.).
If you’re a student planning to study abroad or applying for scholarships/jobs, you’ll be asked to convert. That’s where this free tool saves you hours.

GPA to Percentage Conversion in Pakistan
In Pakistan, most colleges and universities give marks as percentage (out of 100). But higher institutions like LUMS, IBA, FAST, and NUST often use GPA (4.0 scale).
Formula for Pakistan
-
GPA → % = (GPA ÷ 4.0) × 100
-
% → GPA = (Percentage ÷ 100) × 4.0
Example 1: If you scored 3.2 GPA → (3.2 ÷ 4.0) × 100 = 80%
Example 2: If you scored 72% marks → (72 ÷ 100) × 4.0 = 2.88 GPA
Common Grading Scale in Pakistan
| Percentage | Grade | GPA (4.0 Scale) |
|---|---|---|
| 85 – 100 | A+ | 4.0 |
| 80 – 84 | A | 3.7 |
| 75 – 79 | B+ | 3.3 |
| 70 – 74 | B | 3.0 |
| 65 – 69 | C+ | 2.5 |
| 60 – 64 | C | 2.0 |
| 50 – 59 | D | 1.0 |
| Below 50 | F | 0.0 |
GPA to Percentage Conversion in India
India mostly uses 10-point GPA scale. To convert:
-
Multiply your GPA by 10 → That’s your percentage.
Example: 7.5 GPA × 10 = 75%
Example: 6.3 GPA × 10 = 63%
This is why Indian students applying to US/UK universities often use calculators like this.
GPA to Percentage in the USA
In the United States, GPA is based on a 4.0 scale.
Formula: (GPA ÷ 4.0) × 100
Example: 3.5 GPA = (3.5 ÷ 4) × 100 = 87.5%
| GPA | Letter Grade | Approx % |
|---|---|---|
| 4.0 | A / A+ | 90–100% |
| 3.8 | A- | 90–92% |
| 3.4 | B | 83–86% |
| 3.0 | B- | 80–82% |
| 2.6 | C+ | 77–79% |
| 2.0 | C | 73–76% |
| 1.0 | D | 65–66% |
GPA to Percentage in Canada
Canada uses different GPA scales depending on the university:
-
Some use 4.0
-
Some use 4.3
-
A few use 10-point GPA
Example: If you scored 3.7 GPA (on 4.0 scale) → (3.7 ÷ 4.0) × 100 = 92.5%.
GPA to Percentage in Australia
Australia follows a 7-point GPA scale:
-
7 = High Distinction
-
6 = Distinction
-
5 = Credit
-
4 = Pass
-
Below 4 = Fail
Formula: (Your GPA ÷ 7) × 100
Example: 5.5 GPA = (5.5 ÷ 7) × 100 = 78.6%
Weighted vs. Unweighted GPA
-
Unweighted GPA: Simple 4.0 scale, ignores course difficulty.
-
Weighted GPA: Adds extra value for AP/Honors courses (can be 5.0 or even 6.0).
That’s why two students can both have an “A” but one ends up with a higher GPA.
