Why there’s no single formula
Some websites divide your percentage by 25 (so 80% becomes 3.2). That isn’t how schools calculate GPA. GPA comes from letter grades, and each school sets its own cutoffs. The chart above is the most common US scale.
Canadian percentages
Many Canadian universities give an A- from 80%, an A from 85% and an A+ from 90%. If your school is one of them, see our University of Toronto and McMaster calculators.
