Powerlifting points calculator
DOTS, IPF GL and both Wilks formulae from one total, and the part most calculators leave out: the exact weight you need on the bar to hit a target score, or to beat someone else's.
Lifter
Equipment and event only affect IPF GL. DOTS and Wilks have a single formula per category and always score a full-power total.

Which formula should you use?
- DOTS: the current default in most federations and meet software. Use this one unless told otherwise.
- IPF GL: what the IPF itself scores on. Separate coefficients for raw and equipped, and for bench-only meets, which is why those selectors exist.
- Wilks: the old standard, still quoted widely enough to be worth showing. Wilks 2020 is the revision; its scores run about 20% higher than the original, so the two are not comparable with each other.
