DOTS Score Calculator
Calculate your DOTS score, the modern powerlifting coefficient that many federations adopted to compare lifters across bodyweights more fairly than the older Wilks formula. DOTS uses a fourth order polynomial in bodyweight with separate constants for men and women, and it multiplies your total by five hundred divided by that polynomial. Like Wilks it scales the raw total so a lighter lifter and a heavier lifter can be ranked on relative strength, but the DOTS curve was refitted to more recent data. Choose your sex, enter your bodyweight and total, and select kilograms or pounds; the tool converts to kilograms, evaluates the DOTS polynomial and returns your score plus the coefficient. It uses only bodyweight and total, with no separate age adjustment. Everything is computed instantly and privately in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
What is the DOTS score?
DOTS is a bodyweight coefficient applied to your lifted total, designed as a modern replacement for the Wilks formula to compare strength across weight classes.
How does DOTS differ from Wilks?
DOTS uses an updated polynomial fitted to more recent data and, unlike older Wilks, uses a single formula shape adjusted by sex rather than separate tables.
Which score should I report?
Check your federation; many now favor DOTS, but if your meet still ranks by Wilks you may want both, which is why related tools calculate each.
