Conversion Formulas and Examples
This tool uses standard, accurate formulas for each conversion. Here's a breakdown of the logic:
**100 to 4.0 Scale & Percentage to 4.0 Scale:** To convert a percentage-based score (out of 100) to a 4.0 scale, the formula is: $$ \text{GPA}_{4.0} = (\text{Percentage} / 100) \times 4 $$ Example: If you scored 85%, your GPA is $(85/100) \times 4 = 3.4$.
**5.0 to 4.0 Scale:** To convert a GPA from a 5.0 scale to a 4.0 scale: $$ \text{GPA}_{4.0} = (\text{GPA}_{5.0} / 5) \times 4 $$ Example: A 4.5 GPA on a 5.0 scale is $(4.5 / 5) \times 4 = 3.6$ on a 4.0 scale.
**4.0 to 5.0 Scale:** To convert a GPA from a 4.0 scale to a 5.0 scale: $$ \text{GPA}_{5.0} = (\text{GPA}_{4.0} / 4) \times 5 $$ Example: A 3.2 GPA on a 4.0 scale is $(3.2 / 4) \times 5 = 4.0$ on a 5.0 scale.
