About GradeHelm

GradeHelm builds free, accurate grade and GPA calculators that adapt to your school’s scale and show every step of the math.

Why GradeHelm exists

Grades decide scholarships, applications and sometimes whether a student can stay in a program, yet many online calculators assume one grading scale, hide their math and give no plan for what to do next. GradeHelm was built to fix that: calculators that use your school’s scale, explain every step and tell you what you need to reach your goal.

What we promise

  • Accuracy you can check. Every result has a “Show the math” panel, and our formulas and rounding rules are published on the methodology page. The calculation engine is covered by automated tests, including the worked examples on our pages.
  • Privacy. Calculations run in your browser. We don’t collect your grades. Read the privacy policy.
  • Free to use. No account, no sign-up, no paywall for any calculator.
  • Honesty about limits. Schools have their own rules. Our results are estimates to help you plan; your school’s official records always take priority.
