Overview
Calculate your powerlifting Wilks score from body weight, sex, and the total weight lifted. The Wilks score is a body-weight-adjusted metric that allows fair comparison of strength across different weight classes, applicable to a squat–bench–deadlift total or a single lift. Both the original Wilks (1994) formula and the revised Wilks 2020 formula are supported.
Formula
Wilks Score = Total (kg) × Coefficient Coefficient = N ÷ (a + b·x + c·x² + d·x³ + e·x⁴ + f·x⁵), x = body weight (kg) • Original Wilks (1994): N = 500 with published sex-specific coefficients • Wilks 2020: N = 600 with re-regressed sex-specific coefficients Example) 80 kg male: coefficient 0.6827 (original), 0.8191 (2020) → A 500 kg total scores 341.35 (original) or 409.57 (Wilks 2020)
How to Use
- 1Select your sex (male and female coefficients differ).
- 2Choose the formula version — Wilks 2020 (×600) or original Wilks (×500).
- 3Enter your body weight in kg (e.g., 80 kg).
- 4Enter your three-lift total (squat + bench + deadlift) or a single-lift record (e.g., 500 kg).
- 5Your Wilks score, coefficient, and a comparison of both versions are calculated automatically.
Examples
80 kg male with a 500 kg total
An 80 kg male lifter totaling 500 kg (e.g., 180 kg squat + 120 kg bench + 200 kg deadlift).
60 kg female with a 300 kg total
A 60 kg female lifter totaling 300 kg (5× body weight), using the female coefficient set.
100 kg vs 80 kg male, same 500 kg total
A comparison showing how the same total scores differently at different body weights.
Background
The Wilks formula was developed by Robert Wilks of Powerlifting Australia and has been used since the 1990s to rank best lifters across weight classes. In 2020 a revised version was published with coefficients re-regressed on modern competition data and the scale changed from 500 to 600. The International Powerlifting Federation switched to its own IPF GL points in 2019, but the Wilks score remains the most widely used benchmark among recreational lifters.
Tips
- ✔The same coefficient applies to single-lift records as well as three-lift totals.
- ✔Original Wilks and Wilks 2020 use different scales (500 vs 600) — only compare scores computed with the same version.
- ✔On the original scale, 300+ is commonly considered upper-intermediate and 400+ elite (informal benchmarks).
- ✔Federations use different scoring formulas (IPF GL, DOTS, Wilks) — check the rules of the meet you plan to enter.
- ✔Enter your competition weigh-in body weight (morning, fasted) to approximate official meet scores.
FAQ
Q. What is a Wilks score?
It is a body-weight-adjusted score for comparing powerlifting performance across weight classes. The total lifted is multiplied by a coefficient determined by body weight and sex; lighter lifters get larger coefficients. It has long been used to determine best-lifter awards at meets.
Q. What is the difference between original Wilks and Wilks 2020?
The original Wilks (1994) uses a 500 scale, while Wilks 2020 uses re-regressed coefficients on a 600 scale. The same performance scores roughly 1.2× higher on Wilks 2020, so scores from different versions must not be compared directly.
Q. What Wilks score is a 500 kg total?
It depends on body weight. For males on the original formula, a 500 kg total scores 359.66 at 74 kg, 341.35 at 80 kg, 319.20 at 90 kg, and 304.30 at 100 kg. The lighter the lifter, the higher the score for the same total.
Q. How is this different from a one-rep-max calculator?
A 1RM calculator estimates your maximum single lift from a multi-rep set, while the Wilks score converts an established record into a body-weight-adjusted number for comparison with other lifters. They serve different purposes and work well together.
