Grading Scale Calculator
Schools set their own cutoffs. This calculator lets you type in the lowest percent for an A, a B, a C and a D, then shows where a percent lands.

How it works
Starting from the top, the calculator checks whether the percent is at or above each cutoff. The first one it meets sets the grade points: 4 for an A, 3 for a B, 2 for a C, 1 for a D, and 0 for anything below.
Grade points are a number on the 4.0 scale, so a 3 means the B range. Your transcript lists the letters themselves.
Worked example
With the cutoffs you set, a score of 86 gives 3 grade points on the 4.0 scale.
Questions
Why is the result shown as points and not a letter?
Points keep the scale editable, and each number matches a letter: 4 for A, 3 for B, 2 for C and 1 for D.
What if a percent sits right on a cutoff?
A percent that is exactly at a cutoff earns the higher grade, since the check is at or above.
Does my school round percents first?
Some do. Round your percent the same way your school does before you type it in.
