What is this?
A grade converter maps percentage scores to letter grades. Common US scale: A 93+, A- 90–92, B+ 87–89, B 83–86, etc. F is below 60. Scales vary by school—verify with your institution. The calculator uses a typical scale as a reference; your school may use different cutoffs. Plus/minus grades provide more granularity than plain A, B, C. Enter your percentage (0–100) to see the equivalent letter. Useful when your teacher gives percentages but your transcript uses letters, or when comparing grading systems across schools.
