Compare powerlifting totals fairly
DOTS scores bodyweight-adjusted strength so a 67.5 kg lifter and a 120 kg lifter can be compared on the same scale. Enter bodyweight and total (or squat/bench/deadlift) to get your DOTS score instantly.
Calculator
Score your powerlifting total with the modern DOTS formula — compare strength across bodyweights using official male and female coefficients.

CalcGen uses the standard male and female DOTS coefficients published for OpenPowerlifting-style scoring: DOTS = Total_kg × (500 / polynomial(bodyweight_kg)).
Work in lb or kg — inputs are converted to kilograms for the formula, and your entered unit stays visible in the result details.
Along with the numeric DOTS score, you’ll see an informal band (Beginner through World class) for training context. Federations and meets may use different cutoffs.

DOTS is a bodyweight-adjusted powerlifting score. It multiplies your three-lift total by a coefficient derived from a sex-specific polynomial of bodyweight, so lighter and heavier lifters can be ranked more fairly.
Convert bodyweight and total to kilograms, compute the DOTS coefficient from the male or female polynomial, then multiply: DOTS = Total_kg × coefficient. This calculator uses the standard OpenPowerlifting coefficients.
No. Wilks is an older bodyweight formula. DOTS replaced Wilks on OpenPowerlifting and is the more common modern standard for raw powerlifting comparisons.
DOTS can score either, but compare like with like — raw vs raw, equipped vs equipped — and note whether knee sleeves, belts, or suits were used.
Yes. Switch to Lifts mode and enter each lift; the calculator sums them into your total before scoring.
It depends on experience and sex. As rough community context, intermediate lifters often land around the mid-200s to mid-300s, while elite totals push well above 400–450+. Treat the on-page bands as educational, not official classifications.
