About this tool
There is no single formula for turning a CGPA into a percentage. CBSE publishes CGPA × 9.5 for its 10-point scale, and many Indian universities use multipliers of their own. In Pakistan, HEC’s guidelines grade by marks bands and do not set a conversion, so many students use a simple proportion, CGPA ÷ 4 × 100, unless their university publishes something else.
If an employer or a scholarship asks for a percentage, check your transcript or your university’s rules first: many print an equivalence table or state the multiplier. This calculator shows the working, so you can say exactly how you converted.
