About GradeFig

Last Updated: July 2026

Our Mission

GradeFig is a free, accurate, and accessible GPA calculator platform designed specifically for US high school and college students. Our mission is to help students understand their grades, track their academic progress, and plan for college applications — without sign-ups, paywalls, or hidden costs.

Who We Serve

GradeFig is built for a diverse range of US students including:

• High school students tracking semester and cumulative GPA
• College students calculating credit-hour weighted GPA
• Transfer students from community colleges to four-year universities
• Students recovering from low semesters and planning GPA improvement
• College applicants comparing weighted vs. unweighted GPAs
• Students converting between different GPA scales (4.0, 5.0)

What Makes GradeFig Different

Unlike generic GPA tools, GradeFig focuses specifically on US academic standards and provides specialized calculators for every stage of a student's academic journey. Every calculator is built with accurate US grading formulas, real-time calculations, and comprehensive educational resources.

Our Editorial Standards

All articles, guides, and educational content on GradeFig are written by qualified authors with expertise in US education, academic policy, and college admissions. We follow strict editorial standards to ensure:

• Accurate and up-to-date information reflecting current US academic standards
• Clear, practical guidance that students can apply immediately
• Proper attribution of information sources where applicable
• Transparent disclosure of our limitations and the scope of our calculations
• Compliance with FTC guidelines for any affiliate relationships

Who runs GradeFig

GradeFig is an independent editorial research project run by The GradeFig Editorial Team. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any school, university, testing company, or college-admissions service — and we do not award grades or credentials. The team is responsible for every calculator, guide, and figure on this site.

Our approach

Every calculator is built on standard US academic grading scales (4.0, 5.0, weighted and unweighted) and tested against known examples before publication. Guides explain how each formula works, note the limitations of an estimate, and are reviewed as grading policies evolve. Where a school's exact policy differs, we say so — results are for planning and education, not an official transcript.

What we are not

We are not a school, a college-admissions office, or a licensed academic advisor. Where a professional counselor or a school's registrar can give definitive answers, we point you to them rather than guessing. Recommendations on this site are never paid for, and no third party can buy a better ranking or result.
