IPF GL Points Calculator (Powerlifting)

The IPF GL Points system is the official scoring method used by the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) to compare the relative strength of lifters across different body weight classes, genders, and equipment categories.

It replaced the Wilks formula in 2019 and is considered a more statistically robust system. A higher IPF GL Points score indicates a better performance relative to the competition.

Formula:

Points = 100 / (A - B * e^{(-C * Bodyweight)}) * Total Lifted

The coefficients A, B, and C are different for men and women, and for classic (raw) versus equipped lifting. This calculator uses the official coefficients provided by the IPF.
