sugar calculator for cider

[Maylar]

Is there a resource that helps calculate how much sugar to add per gallon of cider to raise the SG to a specific point?

TIA

I was informed that 6 grams of sugar per gallon will raise sg 1 point.

What does "raise it by one point mean"?? Is it 1.001 or 1.1 or 1.01 or what?? I have seen this posted a couple times and have always been curious.

1.001 plus 1 point equals 1.002, and 1.010 plus one point 1.011.
I hope this answers your question.

Is that just white cane sugar? Or does it also apply to brown sugar, corn sugar, and so on?

If those calculations accurate, it seems my upcoming cider will have a potential ABV of 15% and I imagine somewhere around 11% or 12% at maximum attenuation.
