Automatically convert your international degree grade to the German Bayerische Formel (Bavarian Formula) scale required by DACH employers and universities.
Estimate your German equivalent grade
The Modified Bavarian Formula (modifizierte bayerische Formel) is the standard algorithm used by German universities, the central evaluation office (ZAB), and employers to convert foreign grades into the German grading system (1.0 = Excellent, 4.0 = Minimum Pass, 5.0 = Fail).
N = 1 + 3 × ((N_max - N_actual) / (N_max - N_min))
Some countries, like Austria and Czechia, use "inverted" scales where 1.0 is the best and 4.0 or 5.0 is a pass. EuroCV Studio handles these conversions automatically.
For UK Honours degrees, the grading system is categorical (1st, 2:1, 2:2, 3rd) rather than numeric. We provide an estimated mapping range since a direct decimal conversion is not possible.
This tool provides an estimated calculation. For an official equivalence required for visa applications (Chancenkarte) or university admissions, you must obtain a formal statement from the Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen (ZAB) or use the Anabin database. Do not represent this calculation as an official credential.
