One-Rep Max Calculator
Estimate your 1RM from any lift and see your full percentage table.
Tip: estimates are most accurate at 1–10 reps. High reps reduce accuracy.

🏋️ Barbell plate loading (per side)
Loads total ( bar + / side) · not loadable with standard plates
1RM is at or below the bar weight — nothing to load. Lower the bar weight to see plates.
Estimates only — actual 1RM varies by exercise, fatigue and technique. Warm up, use a spotter, and progress gradually. Not medical advice.

About One-Rep Max Calculator
A one-rep max calculator estimates the maximum weight you can lift for a single repetition (1RM) based on the weight and reps you can currently perform. It uses established strength training formulas to predict your 1RM from any lift—whether it's a barbell squat, bench press, deadlift, or dumbbell exercise. This free browser tool requires no signup and makes strength testing faster and safer.
Once you enter your lift, the calculator displays your estimated 1RM and generates a complete percentage table showing what weight you should use for different rep ranges. This percentage-based breakdown is useful for programming workouts, scaling exercises, and tracking progress over time. The tool runs entirely in your browser—your data never leaves your device.
Whether you're new to strength training and want to estimate your starting weight, or a seasoned lifter planning a training cycle, this 1RM strength calculator removes the guesswork. It helps you train at the right intensity without testing your actual one-rep max, which is time-consuming and carries higher injury risk.

Frequently asked questions
One-rep max calculators use proven strength training formulas (like Epley or Brzycki) that work well for most lifters in the intermediate range. The estimate is usually within 5-10% of your actual 1RM. Accuracy improves with consistent training history; beginners or elite lifters may see wider variation.
Use a weight you can perform for 2-10 clean reps with good form. Avoid testing when fatigued. The calculator is most reliable when you stay in this rep range—testing with 1 rep or 15+ reps reduces accuracy. Pick a recent actual lift you know, not your best guess.
The percentage table shows the weight you should lift for different rep ranges based on your estimated 1RM. For example, 85% of your 1RM is typically right for 3-5 reps. Programs use these percentages to safely scale exercises and maintain correct intensity for your training goals.
Yes, the 1RM calculator works for any lift—barbells, dumbbells, machines, or bodyweight. The math is the same regardless of exercise. For pure bodyweight exercises, estimate your bodyweight as the load.
