Enter your bodyweight and powerlifting total to calculate your Wilks and DOTS scores — the two most widely used methods for comparing strength across weight classes.
Or enter individual lifts:
Both scores do the same job: they let you compare powerlifting totals between lifters of different bodyweights. Without a coefficient like this, a 100kg lifter squatting 200kg and a 60kg lifter squatting 160kg would be difficult to fairly compare — the scores normalise for bodyweight so you can see who is relatively stronger.
Developed by Robert Wilks in 1995 and used as the international standard for over two decades. It's still the most recognisable name in powerlifting scoring. General benchmarks: Beginner ≈ 120, Novice ≈ 200, Intermediate ≈ 238, Advanced ≈ 326, Elite ≈ 414+.
A newer formula adopted by many federations from 2019 onwards. It was designed to fix some inaccuracies in Wilks at extreme bodyweights (very light or very heavy lifters). For most people in the 60–100kg range, Wilks and DOTS give very similar results. DOTS is the more modern standard and what most competitive federations use today.
If you compete, use whichever your federation requires. For personal tracking, DOTS is the more accurate modern standard — but Wilks is fine too. Just pick one and track it consistently over time to measure your progress.
