Calculators

Plate Calculator

The Plate Calculator helps load a barbell using the active bars and plates associated with your preferred weight unit.

• Pound accounts start with No Bar, 15 lb Training Bar, 35 lb Bar, and 45 lb Bar.
• Kilogram accounts start with No Bar, 15 kg Bar, and 20 kg Olympic Bar.
• Default plate inventory starts at 100 each. Pounds use 45, 25, 10, 5, and 2.5 lb; kilograms use 20, 10, 5, 2.5, and 1.25 kg.
• Your profile's preferred weight unit controls whether the calculator labels weights as lb or kg. Existing inventory numbers are not converted when you change units.
• Choose a target total weight and an active bar.
• The calculator returns the plates needed per side.
• If an exact load is not possible, it shows the closest lower load and the difference.
• Select Add Bars or Add Plates only when you need to add, edit, deactivate, or restore equipment. Those management sections stay hidden during normal calculator use.
