Load the bar accurately

Plate Calculator

Enter the total barbell weight, choose your bar, and select the plates available in your gym.

Units

Target includes the bar and plates on both sides.

Available plates — each side

Total weight and per-side loading

FitCalc subtracts the selected bar from your total target, divides the remainder equally, and shows the plates for each side.

Available plates and closest loads

Turn off any denomination your gym does not have. If the exact target is impossible, FitCalc reports the closest buildable symmetrical load and its difference from your target, preferring the lower load when equally close.
