How do you convert a letter grade to GPA?

Look the letter up on your school's scale: each letter has a fixed number of grade points. On the plus/minus scale used in the example, a B+ is worth 3.33 grade points and covers 87–89%. Scales differ, so the same letter can be worth 3.3 at one school and 3.33 at another, and some charts have no plus or minus grades at all.

Percentage to letter, and GPA to percentage

Type a percentage (87) to see its letter and grade points, or grade points (3.0) to see the letter and its percentage range. A GPA that falls between two letters, such as 3.5, isn't a letter grade: it is an average, and the converter says which two letters it sits between.

To turn a whole term of grades into a GPA, use the GPA calculator, or the high school GPA calculator for weighted and unweighted GPA.

Source: Green Bay Area Public Schools (WI): Grading Scale, checked October 18, 2026. Green Bay gives the plus and minus grades in thirds of a point (A- 3.67, B+ 3.33); many schools round these to 3.7 and 3.3, so check your own handbook. F* (fail, no credit), P (pass), INC (incomplete), MX (medical excuse) and NG (no grade) are not counted in GPA. The page sets no honors or AP weighting: the weighting boxes in the calculator are your school's rules. Not counted in GPA: F*, P, INC, MX, NG.

Questions students ask

What GPA is an 87%?
On the Green Bay plus/minus scale an 87% is a B+, worth 3.33. On the College Board chart, which has no plus grades, it is a B, worth 3.0. Use your school's scale: the converter shows both.
Is a B+ a 3.3 or a 3.33?
Both are used. Many colleges, such as UC Santa Cruz, give a B+ 3.3; some school districts, such as Green Bay, give it 3.33. Pick your school's scale in the converter.
What percentage is a 3.0 GPA?
A 3.0 is a B. On the Green Bay scale a B covers 83–86%; on the College Board chart, 80–89%. A GPA is an average across classes, so it doesn't map back to one exact percentage.
