GoHighLevel Math Calculation V2 in Forms & Surveys

If you use ClickUp to manage tasks and want precise numbers from your marketing funnels, you can combine it with GoHighLevel forms and surveys powered by Math Calculation V2. This feature lets you automatically calculate totals, scores, prices, and more directly inside your GoHighLevel forms without custom code.

This how-to guide explains, step by step, how to configure math calculation fields in forms and surveys, how the syntax works, and how to avoid common mistakes.

What Is Math Calculation V2 in GoHighLevel?

Math Calculation V2 is a powerful field type in GoHighLevel that performs real-time calculations based on values from other form or survey fields. It is ideal for:

  • Quizzes and scoring systems
  • Price estimators and quote builders
  • Loan or payment estimators
  • Any workflow where numeric results are needed

The calculation runs in the browser while the visitor fills out the form or survey, giving them instant feedback.

Prerequisites for Using GoHighLevel Math Calculations

Before you start building formulas, make sure you have:

  • An active GoHighLevel account with access to Forms & Surveys.
  • At least one form or survey created in your sub-account.
  • Numeric fields (like number, order bump, radio, or checkbox values) that will be used in the calculation.

You should also be familiar with the form builder layout so that you can easily add and configure fields.

How to Add a Math Calculation Field in GoHighLevel

Follow these steps to add a math calculation field to a form or survey inside GoHighLevel.

Step 1: Open Your Form or Survey in GoHighLevel

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
  2. Navigate to Sites > Forms or Sites > Surveys.
  3. Edit an existing form or survey, or create a new one.

Step 2: Insert the Math Calculation V2 Field

  1. In the form builder, locate the field list on the left (or right) panel.
  2. Find and select the Math Calculation V2 field type.
  3. Drag and drop it into the desired position in your GoHighLevel form or survey.

You will now see a calculation field placeholder that you can configure with your formula.

Step 3: Configure Basic Field Settings

Click the calculation field to open its settings. Configure the following basic options:

  • Label: Set the label that will appear to users (for example, “Total Price” or “Score”).
  • Decimal Places: Choose how many decimal points to show in the result.
  • Visibility: Decide whether users can see the calculation or if it will be hidden and only used for automation or tracking.

Understanding GoHighLevel Math Field Syntax

The Math Calculation V2 field in GoHighLevel uses a simple expression language made up of operators, references to other fields, and numeric values.

Supported Operators in GoHighLevel

Use these basic math operators in your GoHighLevel calculations:

  • Addition (+): a + b
  • Subtraction (-): a - b
  • Multiplication (*): a * b
  • Division (/): a / b
  • Parentheses to control order: (a + b) * c

The system calculates from left to right but respects parentheses, just like a standard calculator.

Referencing Other Fields in GoHighLevel

Every numeric field that you want to use in a calculation must be referenced correctly. The usual pattern in GoHighLevel is:

  • Each field gets an internal custom key or variable name.
  • You use that key or variable inside curly braces in the formula.

A typical syntax pattern looks like:

{field_key_1} + {field_key_2} * 2

Be sure to use the exact internal key assigned to each field, not only the label shown to the user.

Example Formulas in GoHighLevel

Here are sample formulas you can adapt to your own GoHighLevel configuration:

  • Simple total: {quantity} * {unit_price}
  • Score from answers: {answer_1} + {answer_2} + {answer_3}
  • Discounted price: {subtotal} - ({subtotal} * {discount_rate} / 100)

These are illustrative patterns; adapt the keys to match your actual form field keys.

Using Math Calculation V2 Inside GoHighLevel Surveys

Math Calculation V2 also works seamlessly in GoHighLevel surveys. The logic is the same as with forms, but there are some typical uses that are especially helpful in surveys:

  • Outcome-based quizzes where a score determines the final thank-you message.
  • Readiness or fit assessments for product or service qualification.
  • Engagement scoring for lead tagging and follow-up.

To use a calculation in a survey, repeat the same steps:

  1. Open the survey in GoHighLevel.
  2. Add numeric question types with values assigned to each option.
  3. Insert a Math Calculation V2 field.
  4. Reference your numeric questions in the formula.

Connecting GoHighLevel Calculations to Workflows

Once your calculation field is working, you can use the result value in automations and reporting across GoHighLevel.

Triggering Workflows Based on Calculated Values

Typical ways to use the result include:

  • Triggering a workflow when a form or survey is submitted.
  • Branching the workflow based on a score range.
  • Updating a contact custom field with the calculated result.

For example, you might route leads with a high score to a sales pipeline while sending educational content to those with a lower score.

Storing the Result in Custom Fields in GoHighLevel

To make full use of the calculation result:

  1. Create a numeric custom field on contacts (for example, “Quiz Score” or “Estimated Budget”).
  2. Map the Math Calculation V2 field to that custom field via your form or via a workflow step.
  3. Use that custom field in filters, segments, and reporting inside GoHighLevel.

Best Practices for GoHighLevel Math Calculations

Follow these recommendations to make your formulas easier to maintain and debug in GoHighLevel.

Use Clear and Consistent Field Keys

When you name internal field keys:

  • Use descriptive names such as loan_amount or monthly_income.
  • Avoid spaces and special characters.
  • Document which keys are used in each formula, especially for complex GoHighLevel funnels.

Validate Formulas Before Publishing

Always test your GoHighLevel form or survey thoroughly:

  • Enter different combinations of values.
  • Check that all branches of your formula behave as expected.
  • Confirm that decimal places, rounding, and totals are accurate.

Testing helps prevent inaccurate quotes or incorrect scores from being sent to leads.

Keep Calculations User-Friendly

To enhance user experience:

  • Show helpful labels and tooltips explaining what the total or score represents.
  • Use conditional logic to hide intermediate calculations if they are not necessary for the user.
  • Make sure error states (like missing required fields) are clear and easy to fix.

Troubleshooting GoHighLevel Math Calculation V2

If your GoHighLevel calculation is not working, check the following common issues.

Incorrect Field References

Most errors come from mismatched field keys:

  • Verify that each key in your formula exactly matches the internal key used by the form field.
  • Ensure you have included curly braces around each key if that is required in your configuration.

Non-Numeric Values in the Calculation

Make sure all fields participating in the calculation return numeric values:

  • Radio buttons and checkboxes must have numeric values set for each choice.
  • Text fields cannot be used unless parsed or converted to numbers, which Math Calculation V2 does not usually do automatically.

Operator and Parentheses Issues

If results seem off:

  • Check the order of operations and add parentheses where needed.
  • Look for missing or extra operators like + or *.
