Base value only
The calculator totals planned base value. It does not attempt to predict grades of execution, components, or deductions.

Figure Skating Base Value Calculator
Build a figure skating program layout, estimate the base value of jumps, spins, and sequences, and review season-aware warnings before full protocol analysis.
This figure skating program calculator is designed for quick layout checks: choose the season, level, segment, and category, then estimate the base value of the planned program content.
This tool estimates base value only. It does not calculate GOE, PCS, deductions, or a final segment score. Always verify the current ISU rules and communications for the season you select.
Important scoring notes
What to keep in mind before using the total
Protocols will differ
Official protocol totals move up or down because of GOE, PCS, deductions, and technical panel calls.
Second-half bonus is not universal
The second-half checkbox matters only when the selected season and category actually allow a jump bonus.
Novice rules are separate
Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced Novice should not be treated as a simplified copy of Junior or Senior. Content limits and bonus logic differ.
Season matters
Layouts and scoring logic change from season to season. Always choose the correct season before trusting the estimate.

FAQ
Common questions
What does this calculator include?
It estimates the base value of the selected layout, plus the bonus logic that is available in the chosen season and category.
Does the calculator include GOE?
No. GOE, PCS, deductions, and review outcomes are not part of this tool.
Why can the total in protocols be higher or lower?
Official totals change because judges apply GOE and PCS, while the technical panel may downgrade, call under-rotation, or invalidate content.
Does second-half bonus apply to every category?
No. The calculator checks the selected ruleset first, because second-half bonus logic differs between novice and junior/senior pathways.
Why do I need to choose a season?
Base values, bonus rules, and content restrictions can change from one season to another. The same layout can behave differently after a rules update.
Why can a layout be valid in one season and not in another?
ISU communications can adjust content rules, bonus logic, and category-specific limitations. A season selector makes those shifts explicit.
Why is Advanced Novice scored differently from Junior or Senior?
Advanced Novice has its own content logic and bonus notes. It is not just Junior with fewer elements.
Can I use this calculator for official protocol prediction?
Use it for planning and education, not as an official prediction. Always verify the current ISU rules and the event's technical setup.
