Wilks Score Calculator
Calculate your Wilks score, the classic powerlifting coefficient that lets lifters of different bodyweights compare their strength on a level footing. The Wilks formula multiplies your total lifted by a coefficient of five hundred divided by a fifth order polynomial in bodyweight, with separate constants for men and women. Because a lighter lifter moving a given weight is more impressive pound for pound, the coefficient scales heavier lifters down and lighter lifters up so the resulting score reflects relative strength rather than raw poundage. Choose your sex, enter your bodyweight and your total, and pick kilograms or pounds; the tool converts to kilograms internally, evaluates the original Wilks polynomial and returns your score along with the coefficient used. This uses the original Wilks constants, not the newer Wilks 2 revision. All math runs in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Wilks score do?
It multiplies your total lifted by a coefficient derived from your bodyweight, letting you compare powerlifting strength fairly across weight classes.
Why is a coefficient needed at all?
Heavier lifters can lift more in absolute terms, so the coefficient scales results to remove the bodyweight advantage and compare relative strength.
Is Wilks still the standard?
Wilks is still widely used, though many federations have moved to newer formulas such as DOTS; both aim to solve the same weight class comparison.
