ECTS to GPA Calculator

This tool uses a documented convention: A maps to 4.0, B to 3.5, C to 3.0, D to 2.5, and E to 2.0 grade points. The failing grades FX and F both map to 0.0. Each course's grade points are multiplied by its ECTS credits, summed, and divided by total credits to give your cumulative GPA. Institutions differ, so confirm the exact scale your target school accepts.

ECTS grades A through E are passing, ranked from excellent (A) down to sufficient (E). FX and F are failing; FX means a little more work is needed to pass, while F means considerable further work. In GPA terms both FX and F count as 0.0 grade points but still add to your attempted credits, which pulls the average down.

Yes. Switch the input to percentage and enter each course score from 0 to 100. The tool maps 90 to 100 to A, 80 to 89 to B, 70 to 79 to C, 60 to 69 to D, 50 to 59 to E, and below 50 to F, then converts those letters to US grade points. These bands are a common absolute scale, so check whether your university publishes different cutoffs.

Each course contributes quality points equal to its US 4.0 grade value times its ECTS credit count. The calculator adds up all those quality points and divides by the total ECTS credits. A high grade in a large module therefore moves your GPA more than the same grade in a small one.

ECTS grades are statistical, with A reserved for roughly the top 10 percent of a cohort, so there is no single official numeric conversion to a US GPA. Credential services such as WES or a specific admissions office may apply their own table and weighting rules. Treat this result as an estimate for planning, not an official evaluation.

It focuses on graded ECTS courses from A to F. Pass or fail entries, recognized prior learning, and other ungraded credits are usually left out of GPA math, so omit them from the course list for an accurate weighted average.
