Formula used: estimated percentage = 100 - ((GWA - 1) / 4 * 100). Some schools use different tables.
How the estimate works
A common quick estimate maps 1.00 as the highest mark and 5.00 as failing. Because Philippine universities do not share one national conversion table, treat the result as an academic estimate, not an official transcript value.
When to use it
This converter is helpful when an application form asks for a percentage, when comparing grade scales, or when checking scholarship targets before requesting official documents.
Example
If your GWA is 1.75, the estimated percentage is about 88.75%. A GWA of 2.00 estimates to about 85.00%, while 3.00 estimates to about 75.00%.
