Tool 455 · transparent ECTS comparison

Compare grades the way modern ECTS guidance actually expects.

Build source and receiving grade-distribution tables, locate your awarded grade inside its cohort percentile band, and see every receiving grade whose statistical band overlaps. A separate legacy A–E estimator is available for historical/reference use only, plus a workload calculator for ECTS credits.

Modern ECTS note: the 2015 ECTS Users’ Guide says the previous fixed A–E grading scale is no longer used and recommends institutional grade-distribution tables instead. This tool therefore makes statistical table comparison the default and keeps the old A–E bands in a clearly separated legacy panel.

Source institution

Enter passing grades from strongest to weakest and the share of passing grades awarded at each level.

Entered total—

Receiving institution

Enter the receiving grade scale in strongest-to-weakest order using its own observed distribution.

Entered total—
Historical estimator only. The old ECTS A–E bands described passing students by relative position: A top 10%, B next 25%, C next 30%, D next 25%, E final 10%. Do not use this panel as an official modern conversion unless your institution explicitly requires the legacy convention.

Planning reference: ECTS commonly expresses full-time study as 60 credits per academic year, with one credit corresponding to roughly 25–30 hours of total learner workload. Institutions can define their own implementation details.

Important: statistical overlap is a transparent comparison aid, not a binding transfer decision. Receiving institutions may apply their own approved conversion procedure, consortium agreement, programme-level table, or exam-board judgment.
