About the Weight Watcher Points Calculator

Convert a nutrition label into points and estimate a daily allowance from your age, sex, height and weight. Both published formulas are implemented: the original points system, which uses calories, fat and fibre, and PointsPlus, which uses protein, carbs, fat and fibre.

The appeal of a points system is that it compresses a label into one number that is quick to budget with, and it deliberately penalises fat while discounting fibre so that the number nudges you toward more filling food at the same calorie count. This is an independent implementation of the historical formulas for educational use; it is not affiliated with WW International, and the current commercial system uses a proprietary personalised algorithm that no calculator can reproduce.

Key features of the Weight Watcher Points Calculator

Both published formulas

Classic points from calories, fat and fibre, and PointsPlus from protein, carbohydrate, fat and fibre.

Per serving and per pack

Both figures are shown, since the pack total is what actually gets eaten more often than anyone admits.

Daily allowance estimate

A points budget from age, sex, height and weight, plus the weekly flexible allowance.

Explains the weighting

Why fat is penalised and fibre discounted, so the number makes sense rather than being magic.

Independent and unaffiliated

Stated plainly on the page — the current commercial program uses a proprietary personalised algorithm.
