UK A-Level to GPA Calculator

Enter each subject name, confirm the A-Level level is selected, then choose your grade (A* through E) from the dropdown. Optionally enter credits or weighting per subject for a credit-weighted GPA. Your cumulative US GPA is shown automatically.

If you enter credits for all subjects, we use a credit-weighted average — each subject's GPA points multiplied by credits, divided by total credits. Without credits, we average the GPA point values equally. All results are on the US 4.0 scale.

Conversions follow commonly accepted US admissions standards, verified against GPACalculator.net and Scholaro. A-Levels are widely recognised by US universities, but specific conversion policies can vary. Always check with your target institution or use a credential evaluation service such as WES.

Students applying to US universities who need their A-Level results expressed as a GPA; parents helping their children present qualifications for US college applications; UK expats and digital nomads in the US who need to show their academic credentials to an employer; and job seekers listing grades on a US-format resume.

On the 4.0 scale, 3.7+ is excellent (equivalent to an A or A*). 3.0–3.69 is strong (B range). 2.0–2.99 is satisfactory. Most selective US universities target incoming students with a 3.5+ GPA. An A* in A-Level converts to a 4.0 — the highest possible score.

On the methodology used on this page, AAA converts to a 4.0 GPA. Another calculator may show a slightly different figure if it uses a different grade table or applies weighting in another way.

In many online calculators, yes, A* is capped at 4.0 on the standard US scale. But some institutions may still view A* as stronger than A when they review your record in context, even if both sit at 4.0 in the estimate.

Many do, and many admissions teams understand A-levels well. Even if an application form has a GPA field, you should follow the university's reporting instructions rather than assume a self-converted GPA is always required.

Not automatically. AS treatment varies, so include them only if the calculator supports that approach or the receiving institution tells you to present them that way.
