GWA to Percentage Formula

Type your grade into five different converters and you get five different answers. Here is why — there is no single official formula for this. Many Philippine schools use a transmutation table to change marks into final grades; your percentage comes first and the guide changes it into GWA.

Why GWA to percentage results differ — three wrong and right answers for 1.75 GWA Three side by side panels showing: formula gives 81.25 percent (estimate only), broken sites give 35 percent (wrong), and school grading table gives 88-90 percent (correct for most Philippines universities) Take 1.75 GWA — three different answers: Formula: 100−(1.75−1)×25 81.25% Close estimate ⚠ Ballpark — not your school’s number Some broken converters 35% Completely wrong ✗ Wrong formula — never use this School’s own grading table 88–90% Closest to official record ✓ This converter uses school tables

Take 1.75 as an example — some converters will tell you it is 81.25%, some broken sites will even say 35%, but your school’s own guide says 88–90%. One GWA and three different answers — only one is correct.

Percentage = 100 − (GWA − 1) × 25
The formula gives you a close guess, not the real number. Our converter uses the same tables that your school uses, so your answer will be close to your school records.

A 1.75 usually works out to about 88%–90%, but the exact percentage depends on your college grading system. Since every university has its own conversion table, the result may be a little different. Use the converter above for a quick estimate, or compare it with your college grading guide.
Students often use this shortcut: Percentage = 100 − (GWA − 1) × 25. Plug in a 1.75 and you land near 81%. Treat that as a ballpark, not a final answer. Schools here build their own conversion tables, so our converter reads from those instead of the shortcut formula.
Not every calculator follows the same conversion guide. Since colleges use different grading scales, the percentage for the same college grade can be different.
Every school writes its own conversion table. Take a 1.75 — one university may call it 90%, while the school across town says 88%. Same grade, different percentage. Before you put a number on any official form, ask your registrar first.
A 1.9 falls between 1.75 and 2.00, so it usually lands around 86%–88% at most Philippine universities. It sits just outside the Cum Laude range at schools that set the line at 1.75. Check your registrar’s table for the exact figure.
A 2.5 is roughly 79%–81% and carries a Satisfactory rating. It passes comfortably but sits below most scholarship cut-offs, which usually ask for 2.00 or better.
