About this calculator
There is no single official national formula. If your university, HEC equivalence or the employer specifies a formula, use that instead.
Formula
Percentage ≈ CGPA ÷ Maximum CGPA × 100
This is a straight-line approximation. Because grade bands are not evenly spaced in percentage terms, the result can differ from your actual average marks.
Examples
3.4 out of 4
CGPA 3.40 / 4 ≈ 85% (simple proportional method)
3.0 out of 4
CGPA 3.00 / 4 ≈ 75% (simple proportional method)
4.2 out of 5
CGPA 4.20 / 5 ≈ 84% (simple proportional method)
