Barbell plate calculator
Pick your bar and the plates you have, enter a target, and see exactly what goes on each side.
Exact
100kg
Each side: 20 + 20 kg
How it works
Each side = (target − bar) ÷ 2, using the fewest of the plates you selected. If it cannot be matched, the nearest lighter and heavier loads are shown.
FAQ
How heavy is the bar?
A standard men's Olympic bar is 20 kg and a women's bar 15 kg. Fixed and EZ bars vary, so check the marking.
Do collars count?
Competition collars weigh 2.5 kg each and count. Spring clips are light enough to ignore.
