This GPA calculator helps students with a Laurea Italiana (Italian Bachelor's Degree) understand their academic performance when studying in the USA. The Italian grading system differs from the US system, so this tool provides an accurate conversion to help you compare your results.

To calculate your GPA for a Laurea Italiana in the USA system:
- Enter your Italian grade (from 18 to 30)
- Select the credit value for the course
- Click "Calculate" to see your equivalent US GPA
- Repeat for all courses to get your cumulative GPA
Note: This calculator provides an estimate. For official transcript evaluation, consult with your university's international office or a professional evaluation service.
Italian Grading System
The Italian academic system uses a 30-point scale (Lodeo system) where:
- 18 is the minimum passing grade
- 30 is the maximum grade
- 30 cum laude is the highest possible grade
This system is different from the US 4.0 scale, which ranges from 0.0 to 4.0.
Conversion Method
The calculator uses this formula to convert Italian grades to US GPA:
US GPA = (Italian Grade - 16) / 3
This formula accounts for the difference between the two systems:
- 18 (minimum passing) converts to 0.667
- 30 (maximum) converts to 4.0
- 30 cum laude converts to 4.0
Example Calculation
If you received a 24 in an Italian course with 3 credits:
- Subtract 16: 24 - 16 = 8
- Divide by 3: 8 / 3 = 2.667
- Multiply by credits: 2.667 × 3 = 8.001
This would be equivalent to a 2.667 GPA for that course.
| Italian Grade | US GPA Equivalent | Letter Grade |
|---|---|---|
| 18-19 | 0.667-0.667 | D |
| 20-21 | 0.667-1.000 | D+ |
| 22-23 | 1.000-1.333 | C- |
| 24-25 | 1.333-1.667 | C |
| 26-27 | 1.667-2.000 | C+ |
| 28-29 | 2.000-2.333 | B- |
| 30 | 2.667 | B |
| 30 cum laude | 4.0 | A+ |
