The Take

Instant, no-login CGPA projections with support for multiple national scales and school-specific grade tables — exactly the feature set students actually need during exam season. The shareable result card + PNG export and per-module inputs are practical touches; what it lacks are import/save features (CSV/transcript, scenario saving) and a few power UX flows for counselors or batch use.

Post Description

Hi HN — I built GPACalc to help students quickly calculate GPA/CGPA and convert GPA to percentage across different grading systems (4.0, 5.0, and 10.0).

It also lets you estimate cumulative results from current CGPA, completed credits, and expected semester grades. It’s free, no sign-up, and mobile-friendly.

I’d really value feedback on:

missing grading scales or country systems confusing parts of the UX features that would make this more useful for students/counselors

Nice, focused feature set — salary slider, Scotland tax bands, student loan options, pension relief and employer-cost math are all surfaced without burying the user in jargon. It doesn't invent a new category, but the tax-band visualization and advanced options (tax codes, employer NI) show care; I'd want export/print and privacy/version notes before recommending it widely.

The landing nails the pitch — enormous headline, neon dollar and a single clear CTA make the product instantly understandable. The form intelligently asks age (with a generation-based estimate), country and daily screen time so the friction is minimal; the tradeoff is that the site leans on industry averages without publishing the underlying rates. Useful for a quick viral stat or awareness piece, but it needs a transparent methodology and per-channel breakdowns to feel rigorous.
