These free grading charts show the standard, plus/minus and 7-point letter grade scales, a percent to letter grade table from 100% down to 50%, and a letter grade to GPA chart. Look up any percent, copy a chart into a spreadsheet, or print it.
Note: the extra tools on this page (the percent lookup, chart picker and copy button) have not started. The charts below still work. Site owners: see the install guide, “calculator does not respond”.
The most common example. Each letter covers a 10-point band, with F below 60%.
| Grade | Percent range | GPA points |
|---|---|---|
| A | 90% to 100% | 4.0 |
| B | 80% to less than 90% | 3.0 |
| C | 70% to less than 80% | 2.0 |
| D | 60% to less than 70% | 1.0 |
| F | Below 60% | 0.0 |
Adds plus and minus grades, with 4.0 GPA points as a common example. Some schools give an A+ 4.3.

| A+ | 97% to 100% | 4.0 |
| A | 93% to less than 97% | 4.0 |
| A- | 90% to less than 93% | 3.7 |

A tighter scale used by some schools: A starts at 93%, B at 85%, C at 77% and D at 70%.
| Grade | Percent range | GPA points |
|---|---|---|
| A | 93% to 100% | 4.0 |
| B | 85% to less than 93% | 3.0 |
| C | 77% to less than 85% | 2.0 |

Every whole percent and its letter on the three scales above. A score with a decimal, such as 89.5%, uses the band below it, so 89.5% is a B on the standard scale.

GPA points for each plus/minus grade. The only difference is the A+, which is 4.0 on the 4.0 scale and 4.3 on the 4.3 scale.
| Letter grade | 4.0 scale | 4.3 scale |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 4.0 | 4.3 |
| A | 4.0 | 4.0 |
| A- | 3.7 | 3.7 |
| B+ | 3.3 | 3.3 |
| B | 3.0 | 3.0 |
| B- | 2.7 | 2.7 |
| C+ | 2.3 | 2.3 |

A grading chart lists the lowest percent that earns each letter. On the standard grading chart, 90% and up is an A, 80% to less than 90% is a B, 70% is a C, 60% is a D and anything lower is an F. The plus/minus chart splits each letter into three, with an A+ at 97%. The 7-point chart starts an A at 93%. These are examples, and your school or teacher decides which one applies, so check your syllabus. The grading charts above show all of them, with a lookup for any percent.
The standard 10-point chart gives each letter a band of 10 percentage points, so 89% is a B and 90% is an A. The 7-point chart is stricter at the top: 92% is a B, and an A needs 93%. The plus/minus chart keeps the 90, 80, 70 and 60 starting points but splits each letter. 90% to 92.99% is an A-, 93% to 96.99% is an A, and 97% and up is an A+. The same score can therefore be a B on one chart and an A on another, which is why the chart your school uses matters more than any general rule.
Most GPA charts give an A 4.0, a B 3.0, a C 2.0, a D 1.0 and an F 0.0. Plus and minus grades move the value by about a third of a point, so an A- is 3.7 and a B+ is 3.3. Some schools give an A+ 4.3. The letter-to-GPA chart above shows both versions. To turn grades and credits into a grade point average, use the GPA calculator.
Copy the shown charts copies the text of whichever charts are visible, with tabs between the columns, so it pastes into separate spreadsheet cells. If copying is blocked, select the text in the box. Print this page opens your browser’s print dialog. The chart tools are hidden on paper, but your theme’s header and footer may print, so use “Save as PDF” with a page range for a cleaner handout.
These charts are common examples, not official standards. For background, see Academic grading in the United States and Grading in education on Wikipedia.
Yes. They are free, need no sign-up, and the lookup runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent or saved.
A is 90% and up, B is 80% to less than 90%, C is 70% to less than 80%, D is 60% to less than 70%, and F is below 60%. It is a common example, not a rule.
It is a scale where each letter spans seven points: A is 93% and up, B is 85%, C is 77%, D is 70%, and F is below 70%. Some schools use it. Check whether yours does.
On these charts it is a B, because it is below 90%. If your teacher rounds to the nearest whole percent first, it becomes 90%, an A. Ask your teacher which applies.
On the plus/minus chart an A- is 90% to less than 93%, worth 3.7 GPA points.
No. Schools and teachers set their own cutoffs, and the same percent can earn different letters in different places.
Use the grading scale calculator. Choose Custom, enter your cutoffs, add the total points if you want point ranges, then copy or print the chart.
The lookup compares your percent with each scale’s cutoffs, and the cutoffs differ. For example, 92% is an A on the standard chart, an A- on the plus/minus chart, and a B on the 7-point chart.
No. They are examples. Your school or teacher sets the official scale. See the disclaimer.
