US GPA To UK Converter
US GPA to UK converter to estimate how a US-style GPA maps to a UK honors degree classification like First, Upper Second (2:1), Lower Second (2:2), Third, or Pass. This US to UK GPA conversion is percentage-based and designed for quick equivalency checks.
US To UK GPA Conversion Formula
The tool converts your GPA into a percentage of the maximum scale, then assigns a UK class from threshold bands.
Step 1: Normalize GPA To a percentage
Normalised % = (GPA ÷ GPA Scale) × 100
Step 2: Map percentage To UK classification
Example threshold bands (editable in the tool): First ≥ 70%, 2:1 ≥ 60%, 2:2 ≥ 50%, Third ≥ 40%.
Worked Example
If your GPA is 3.3 on a 4.0 scale:
Normalised % = (3.3 ÷ 4.0) × 100 = 82.5%
That typically lands in a First band on a generic threshold table.
(This example reflects how many users search: “3.3 US GPA to UK GPA” or “US GPA equivalent UK”.)
