The USGA Handicap Index is calculated by taking 96% of the average of the best handicap differentials, and applying USGA Rules Handicap Section 10-3 for golfers with two or more eligible tournament scores. A handicap differential is computed from four elements.
Those are adjusted gross score, USGA Course Rating, USGA Course Slope Rating and 113 (the slope rating of a course of standard difficulty). To determine the handicap differential (Index), subtract the USGA Course Rating from the adjusted gross score; multiply the difference by 113; then divide the resulting number by the USGA Course Slope Rating. Round the final number to the nearest tenth. A factored handicap is reduced to the last whole number.

it isnt really a formula but what u do 2 figure it out is you take the 5 best scores from your last 10 rounds and average them
Example: If your 5 best scores on a par 72 course are (These are mine) 75, 77, 78,80, 82 Your Total score is 392. You then divide this by five. That is 78.4 which is rounded to 78. The relation to par in this case +6 is your handicap.
