IB MYP GPA Calculator — Convert IB MYP Grades to 4.0 GPA

Enter each subject and its IB MYP grade into the calculator above. Tutopiya maps every IB MYP grade to a point on the US 4.0 scale using the standard conversion published in our GPA conversion guide. The calculator returns both an unweighted 4.0 GPA (the average across all subjects) and a 5.0 weighted GPA (with a bonus for IB MYP-level rigour, treated as AP-equivalent in US college admissions where applicable). No manual credits or weights are needed — Tutopiya applies the conventional per-subject weighting for IB MYP automatically.

As a guide, an unweighted GPA of 3.5+ is competitive for most US universities, 3.7+ is strong for top-100 schools, and 3.9+ is expected at Ivy League / top-20 institutions. Note that US universities almost always recalculate your GPA using their own conversion formula — they don't just accept the number your calculator returns. Use this tool to get a credible self-assessment for your applications and personal planning.

Only if you're applying to a US university or a school that explicitly asks for a GPA. Most UK, Australian, Singaporean and European universities accept IB MYP grades directly without conversion. For US applications, the Common App and most US college portals do let you enter your grades in their native IB MYP format — but a GPA conversion is useful for your own self-assessment and for schools that ask for it.

An unweighted GPA caps at 4.0 — every "top grade" (A* at IGCSE, A* at A Level, 7 at IB) is worth 4.0 regardless of how rigorous the course is. A weighted GPA can exceed 4.0 (up to 5.0) by adding bonus points for rigorous courses — typically +0.5 for Honours / IB SL and +1.0 for AP / IB HL / A Level. Most US universities recalculate to their own unweighted scale, but admissions officers do look at weighted GPA when comparing students from different course-rigour profiles. The Tutopiya calculator returns both numbers so you have them ready.

In the US college admissions framework: A Level and IB HL are typically treated as AP-equivalent (+1.0 bonus on the 5.0 weighted scale), IB SL as Honours-equivalent (+0.5 bonus), and IGCSE / GCSE as pre-collegiate (no honours bonus on US transcripts). This is the convention Tutopiya's calculator uses. Individual US universities may weight differently — always check the specific school's policy in your application materials.

UK universities (UCAS), Australian universities, Singaporean universities (NUS, NTU, SMU), Hong Kong universities, most European universities, and a growing number of Canadian universities accept IB MYP grades directly without GPA conversion. US universities, Indian universities applying US-style admissions, and some Middle Eastern universities typically ask for GPA. Always check the specific university's admission policy.

Yes — many US universities ask for a predicted GPA when you apply before you have your final results. Mix actual and predicted grades in the calculator above to get a forecast. Tutopiya's Grade Predictor can help you estimate likely IB MYP grades from your mock exam marks if you don't have predictions from your school yet.

This calculator is a free self-assessment tool — it isn't a substitute for your school's official transcript or the GPA recalculation US universities perform on your application. Use it to (1) understand roughly where you stand for university applications, (2) compare yourself against published GPA benchmarks, and (3) decide whether you need to lift specific subject grades.
