Grade to US GPA Converter
When applying to a university abroad, a GPA is often requested. There is no legally fixed conversion, but this calculator gives an indicative value based on a linear scale mapping.
Result
3.11
Indicative GPA
How this was calculated
- 1Scale linearly from 1โ10 to 0โ4(8 โ 1) รท 9 ร 4 = 3.11
Formula
GPA = (grade โ 1) รท 9 ร 4
This formula linearly maps the Dutch 1-to-10 range onto the American 0-to-4.0 range, where a 1 corresponds to 0.0 and a 10 to 4.0. Organisations such as WES often use a stepped table rather than a linear scale, so treat this result as indicative.
Worked examples
Grade 8
โ Indicative GPA โ 3.11.
Common mistakes
- Submitting this indicative GPA as an official figure in an application without checking the institutionโs own requirements.
Important to know
- For official applications, universities often require a recognised credential evaluation, for example via WES or Nuffic. Use this calculator as an indication only.
When to use it
- Getting an initial estimate before an official credential evaluation.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the official conversion universities use?
No. Institutions often use their own table; this is an indicative, linear estimate.
